Summary
Exposing a person's faults or private shame is prohibited in Islam, whether by word or by deed. For investigation purposes, the ruling agrees with the proposal to install scanning devices at police stations to examine detainees' bodies. Any physical examination involving private parts must be done by a qualified doctor, medical assistant or nurse of the same gender as the detainee.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
