Ruling on Going to Doctors to Determine the Sex of the Fetus
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
You say: My husband and I go to doctors during pregnancy to find out the sex of the fetus, whether it is male or female. Is there a sin on us for doing so?
Answer: Even if you go, their words are not accurate. Doctors' words are not accurate, and there is no need. It is better not to go to them and to ask Allah to decree what is best. It is better not to go to doctors and not to ask them, and for the father and mother to ask Allah to decree for them the best of male and female. Then, if the doctors inform you, their information is not accurate, and they often make mistakes in the signs by which they distinguish the male from the female after formation. They often make mistakes. Yes.
The presenter: So...
The Shaykh: Not going to them is better and more excellent.
The presenter: May Allah preserve you, may Allah reward you with good.
