Knowledge of What Is in the Wombs and Medical Disclosure of the Fetus
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: In the noble verse[Luqman 31:34], in our present time, medical science has accelerated in determining whether the fetus is male or female. How do we direct and reconcile this?
Answer:
Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, knows what is in the wombs, as in the noble verse. As for us, we do not know what is in them. Even if we knew something of the fetus's conditions, we would not know the rest of its conditions, such as its misery or happiness, its disbelief or faith, its wealth or poverty, its long life or short life. We do not know that. We only know, through machines, that it is male or female, that it is alive or that it is dead, that it is healthy or that it is sick. Yes, these are few things of its conditions, and we do not know all of its conditions. This is known only by Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Also, were it not for the existence of these machines, we would not know anything about the fetus. We only know it through them; without them, we do not know the fetus. Yes.
