There is no objection to the spouses agreeing on the use of a temporary contraceptive for an important purpose, even though the noble verse "We provide for them and for you" does not absolutely permit this. It is advised not to treat a woman with male doctors if the treatment necessitates exposing private parts or physical contact. However, for minor matters such as treating the eye, ear, or tooth, there is no harm.
