Question
Assalamualaykum

I work as a dental hygienist, treating patients including men. I am working in their mouths and answer any questions that they may have. Is this permissible? I am afraid that my earnings are not halal.


Answer
All praise are due Allah. May His peace and blessings be upon His last and best prophet Muhammad.

Yes, your work is permissible as long as you adhere to the Islamic manners , and have a chaste and moral personality while dealing with men.

Allah knows best.
