rifa_pink, I see the medical profession as no different from being an engineer, interpreter, housekeeper...in any case you will have to mingle and use your "female" voice to communicate.

I'm sorry, I was under the impression that you wore niqab, since I know not of any female doctor having troubles because she wears hegab, there are plenty of decent hair-covered doctors in Qatar.

insanityOO7, Any phrase followed by "i.e" means it is subject to interpretation. Simple logic, niqab is compulsory while it's forbidden for women to wear during pilgrimage?
