A Muslim Asks a Scholar
ssalamu Alaikum wa Rathmatullahi wa Barakatu I have been told by sisters that it is not permissible for a woman to have a routine cervical smear test unless there are signs of disease showing. This is due to the fact that the test is an invasive one, needing the nurse or doctor to insert something similar to a long cotton bud in through the vagina to the cervix(womb)-(You must have failed anatomy. The cervix is not the womb.) and taking a sample. Signs of cancer in the womb , usually mean that the cancer has spread, whereas a test can detect any changes in the cells of the cervix before it becomes canerous. In my family, there is a history of cervical cancer, which puts me at risk of developing cancer
(Those sisters sounds like insecure ninnies with smelly rotting fish sticks they have the nerve to call pussies. Pap Smears are a highly encouraged obligatory part of a vaginal check-up. You don’t get a Pap Smear when you have the signs of cancer. You continuously get it done so that any signs of cancer can be dealt with before it is too late and to make sure your vagina is healthy. Leaving it unchecked when you are sexually active is very risky.)
And the pedo…ahem I mean scholar replies:
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
is His slave and Messenger.(Oh save it we know you don’t follow either.)
It is not permissible to expose one’s 'Awrah (parts of the body that must be covered in Islam) except in case of necessity or a dire need. Just believing that one has a disease or wanting to make sure about being safe from the disease is not a sound reason for revealing one’s 'Awrah. This prohibition is even more confirmed if the 'Awrah is the private parts. However, if a trustworthy Muslim doctor determines that there is a high possibility of being affected by the disease and there is a dire need for carrying out this periodic test, then we hope that this is permissible.
(No. It is perfectly permissible to show your vagina to a range of people. Other women, family members-as stated in the Quran, beauticians, medical personnel and of course your spouse. It is not in cases for ‘dire need.’ The vagina needs regular check-ups to make sure it is free from infection, disease and cancer especially if one is sexually active, reaching old age or pregnant. Trustworthy Muslim Doctor? Any qualified and well respected doctor should suffice to give you this medical check-up especially if you are at high risk. Perhaps this woman should go to a female doctor instead of talking to this imbecile who clearly has no knowledge about vaginas and vaginal problems.)
In carrying out the test, the female doctor comes in priority over the male doctor, and the female Muslim doctor comes in priority over a female non-Muslim doctor. Besides, it is not permissible to show the 'Awrah more than what the necessity requires.
(Most women do prefer a female doctor but it does not really matter. Male or female are required by law to act in a sophisticated and professional manner. A Muslim doctor takes no priority over the non-Muslim doctor. They both have the same degrees so it shouldn’t matter what religion the doctor is. Frankly in a professional environment their religions and yours is no one’s business. Showing the awrah for necessity=medical check-ups, cleanliness with beauticians, bathing with other women in public houses, spreading eagle on the bed for your spouse etc etc. Common sense.)
Finally, it should be noted that the strongest reason for the prevention from every evil or harm is relying on Allaah and earnestly asking Him for good health because it is He Who afflicts a person with diseases and it is He Who provides the cure and good health.
Allaah Knows best.
(That doesn’t mean a woman is to slack off and let her vagina become an incubus for crotch rotting diseases. Allah expects you to take care of yourself with your own effort not bore him with your pleas for him to take care of everything.)
And Allah knows best
He certainly knows that you and the questionnaire are both retards.
Good article!
