The ruling on taking medication to change the sex of the child

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She asks: What is the ruling on taking medication that increases the male sperm, kills the male nature, and kills the female sperm, so that the child will be a boy?

Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is the One who creates males and females. No one has any say in that. So you must rely on Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and be content with what Allah has provided you of children, whether male or female.
He gives to whom He wills female [children]يَهَبُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ إِنَاثًا
[Ash-Shuraa 42:49]
and He gives to whom He wills males. (50) Or He makes them [both] males and femalesوَيَهَبُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ الذُّكُورَ أَوْ يُزَوِّجُهُمْ ذُكْرَانًا وَإِنَاثًا
[Ash-Shuraa 42:49-50]
meaning He makes some of them males and some of them females; this is up to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
