The significance of this research lies in its response to the concerns of medical students, who often experience ethical dilemmas during the early stages of their medical practice.The researcher adopts an analytical approach to Islamic legal texts to derive a ruling on this issue. The study concludes that conducting manual examinations on patients is permissible when dictated by necessity or genuine need.
