Is there a type of vegetable that can affect the type of fetus?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Recently, some people have claimed that eating certain types of vegetables and plants in a specific quantity affects the environment in which sperm is produced, causing the man's fluid to precede the woman's fluid, thereby making the fetus male. Is this correct?

Answer:
People of medicine ask this; doctors ask about it. What are the things that stimulate sperm? Doctors ask about it; they have experience with this. As for making it male or female, that is in the hand of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
He gives to whom He wills female [children], and He gives to whom He willsيَهَبُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ إِنَاثًا وَيَهَبُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ
[Ash-Shuraa 42:49]
males, but Allah may make a cause; Allah may make a cause in plants that stimulates the sperm. Allah knows best. Yes.
