❀ Question

Does Islam allow a doctor or physician to check the pulse of a non-mahram woman by holding her arm? Or to examine, with his own eyes (not through medical equipment), her eyes, throat, nose, ears, wrist, or other body parts?

❀ Answer

الحمد لله، والصلاة والسلام علىٰ رسول الله، أما بعد!

According to your question, regarding the demand for a specific and explicit verse or Hadith on this matter, there is no clear verse or Hadith known to me.
