Can a female doctor participate in humanitarian missions? Are there any specific Islamic rulings or conditions regarding women engaging in such work? Additionally, is the consent of a father or spouse required before accepting such a mission?
Helping people in need is very much encouraged in Islam. Female doctor who help people in need in any humanitarian mission will be rewarded just like male doctor who help people in need. Hijab and abiding the Islamic rules is compulsory in every Muslim female. Father's consent is necessary if she is unmarried as well as husband's permission if she is married.
Wassalam.
