Does the doctors' claim of the possibility of determining the sex of the newborn fall under the hadith: “If the man’s water prevails over the woman’s water”?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, doctors mention the possibility of determining the sex of the newborn, whether male or female, by different methods. Does this fall under the hadith
The report: “If the man’s water prevails over the woman’s water”?الوارد إذا غلب ماء الرجل ماء المرأة؟


The Shaykh:
Repeat the question.

The questioner:
He says: Doctors mention the possibility of determining the sex of the newborn?

The Shaykh:
No, this is not possible. This is in the hand of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and it is part of the idle speculation of the children of Adam and their overconfidence in their knowledge. No one determines the sex of the newborn except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
