The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Feeling distress when a person learns that the fetus in his wife's womb is a girl, if he feels this distress?
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
He says: Feeling distress when a person learns that this fetus in his wife's womb is a girl, he says: Does this feeling of distress contradict the Shari'ah?
The Shaykh:
Yes, indeed, it is not disliked to dislike a girl. A girl may be better than a man. How many girls are better than men? What is your opinion of Maryam (peace be upon her), A'ishah, and Khadijah? Yes.
