Question:
The questioner asks: How do we reconcile the doctors' current knowledge of the sex of the fetus, whether male or female, with the fact that this is one of the keys to the unseen, which no one knows except Allah, in His saying:[Luqman 31:34]
Answer:
The doctors did not learn this except through the use of endoscopes, through endoscopes and scanners. So they learned it through means. They did not learn it by mere observation, yes.
