Finding out the gender of the foetus
Question
Is it permissible to find out the gender of the child before it is born? What if not then can you please provide a brief explanation?
Answer
This is a futile exercise. It should be avoided.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
