Question

If a lady is in niqaab and happens to be in an accident and there is only male paramedics on the scene, is it allowed for them to check her out and see her face?

Answer

If there is nobody else to attend to her then they should attend to her applying maximum hijaab precautions.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
