Treating women is haram.
The Taliban forbade male doctors from providing medical treatment to women. The Ministry for the Promotion of Virtues and Prevention of Defects has reportedly issued an order stating that men are no longer allowed to treat or examine female patients.
Doctors say Taliban security forces are enforcing the ban, carrying out raids and warning male doctors that they will be jailed if female patients are found in their clinics.
At the same time, there is a catastrophic shortage of female doctors in Afghanistan. Since December 2024, women have lost the right to study in medical institutions, and doctors in hospitals have confirmed that the Taliban have banned them from employing women on their staff. That is, soon, within the Sharia, women in Afghanistan will not be able to receive medical treatment.
