Looking at a diagram of the eye
Question
I have a few questions about the eye and pictures.
If one is studying how the eye functions and its diseases, is it permissible for one to view the eye? If a diagram of the inner eye is drawn, should one erase it, or is it not necessary considering its not the outer eye part?
Can a woman become an ophthalmologist to treat only females to avoid other females going to male ophthalmologists?
Answer
If it is only the eye without the face, it is permissible.
On account of the abundant wrong's that are associated with co-educational institutes and universities, we strongly disapprove of women studying in such anti Islamic environment's. For further details refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/19114
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
