The Ruling on Mixing in Hospitals

Question :

I work in a hospital and the nature of my work demands constant mixing and speaking with women. What is the ruling on this? And what is the ruling on shaking hands with an unrelated woman, especially in Ramadhan?

Answer:

A First of all, you must make every effort to stay away from this society and avoid it, in favor of work connected only with men, which keeps you away from mixing with women. If that is difficult for you, you must take care to prevent the mixing of women even doctors with men, even if they are their colleagues. You must also raise this matter with those who have the authority to prevent it. If you are unable to do so, then you must refrain, as much as possible from looking (at women) and shaking hands with them and the like, because that may lead to forbidden acts, even if one has a good intention and a pure heart.
