حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ , أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ , عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ , عَنْ جَابِرٍ , أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , اسْتَأْذَنَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْحِجَامَةِ , " فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبَا طَيْبَةَ أَنْ يَحْجُمَهَا " , وَقَالَ : حَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ أَخَاهَا مِنَ الرِّضَاعَةِ أَوْ غُلَامًا لَمْ يَحْتَلِمْ " .

Brief Explanation
1؎: Otherwise, how could you have ordered a non-mahram man to perform cupping (hijamah) on you? Although, in times of necessity, it is permissible for a physician to look at the place of illness, but only to the extent of the area of illness.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ The same ruling applies to minor children who are not yet aware of women's private matters and to purchased slaves; therefore, when necessary, it is permissible for a woman to reveal her adornment in their presence.

➋ In an Islamic society, it is necessary to arrange for female physicians (lady doctors) for the medical treatment of women, so that they do not have to appear before non-mahram male doctors.

➌ A woman's hair is part of her inner adornment, which she cannot reveal before a non-mahram.
