Ruling on operations to change a male into a female
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In Europe and America, there are people who undergo an operation to change a male into a female?
Answer:
This is called a hermaphrodite.
Q: How is their repentance?
A: A male does not become a female unless he is a hermaphrodite, for the female orifice is not the male orifice.
Q: But they undergo the operation?
A: This is the operation for hermaphrodites.
Q: Is repentance of any use?
A: Otherwise, it is a male organ and a female organ. If the female characteristics predominate in him, they remove the male signs from him, and if the male characteristics predominate in him, they remove the female signs from him.
Q: Is there no harm in it?
A: This occurs in the case of hermaphrodites. If this occurs, there is no harm in it. There is no harm in treating him as a man if the predominant characteristics are male, and treating him as a woman if the predominant characteristics are female.
Q: Is the operation performed on someone who does not have these characteristics, who is not a hermaphrodite?
A: No, that is not conceivable. He has no orifice; the male orifice is not the female orifice.
Q: But they undergo the operation?
A: In any case, if it is done without a cause, it is forbidden and an abomination, and they have shirk (associating partners with Allah) that is greater than this.
