Changing one's gender
Question
I have a question. My brother who was before while he was a baby/born was a girl. After that s/he was being checked up at the age of 16-17 because s/he didn't have period like any normal girls. After they checked up they've found that his real gender is a MALE. So s/he decided to make an operation to be a MALE (his real gender).
Answer
In Islam it is forbidden and a curse for one to change his gender.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
