Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
There is no harm in a man specializing in gynecology. However, he must fear Allah in his profession by not being alone with women (khalwa), not uncovering their awrah (private parts) more than necessary, and not directly performing procedures that women can perform themselves, all while being mindful of Allah's constant observation.
