How to Deal with the Hermaphrodite

Q: Is the hermaphrodite treated as a female, given that his status has not been clarified? And do all the rules that apply to females apply to him, such as the completion of the waiting period and other matters related to women?

A: The hermaphrodite requires detailed explanation. Before puberty, it is ambiguous whether he is male or female, as he possesses both a female organ and a male organ. However, after puberty, his maleness or femaleness is usually clarified.
If signs appear indicating that he is a female, such as the development of breasts, or if he is distinguished from males by menstruation or urination from the female organ, then he is ruled to be a female, and the male organ is removed through safe medical treatment.
If signs appear indicating that he is a male, such as the growth of a beard, urination from the male organ, or other indicators known to doctors, then he is ruled to be a male and treated as a man. Before that, his status is suspended until the matter is clarified; he is not married until it is clear whether he is male or female. After puberty, as the scholars stated, his status is clarified.
