can Parents choose the gender of their offspring? (=42/49-50)
-
Salaam/Peace to All,
I have seen recently (specifically in my home Country) some Scholars argue that
"it is absolutely forbidden for parents to choose the gender of their offspring, because they say
only AL-LAH can grant "sons" or "daughters" to whomever HE wills, (=in Arabic liman Yashaau),
according to Sura 42 and Verses 49-50.So I wanted to carefully check and clearly see it again, here thus
==========
49- To AL-LAH belongs the Ruling-Dominion of the heavens and the earth; (so,) HE creates whatever HE wishes.
HE may bestow "daughters" to whomever wishes (to have "daughters", (=in Arabic yahabu liman yashaau "inathan",
and may bestow "sons" to whomever wishes (to have "sons", (=in Arabic yahabu liman yashaau "aldhukoora",50- Or HE may bestow-them-as/in-pairs "sons" and "daughters;" and HE may make whomever wishes sterile.
(For) certainly, HE is Best-Knower, Best-Measurer.QURAN TESTAMENT 42/49-50
So in my understanding, parents can thus lawfully wish to have "daughters," or to have "sons,"
by this specific Permission/Grant of our Lord AL-LAH unto them above.

The odds of choosing the sex of your child may be even better with the help of technology.
According to the fertility experts contacted by WebMD, MicroSort -- a method that involves separating
the male sperm from the female -- is the current gold standard."The only effective method that I feel would be useful for sex selection is the MicroSort technique,"
says William Gibbons, MD, director of the EVMS Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine.Carson agrees. "I think sperm sorting is probably the most viable method that we have right now,
but it's probably most effective when it's used in combination with in vitro fertilization."MicroSort, which is licensed by the Genetics and IVF Institute in Fairfax, Va., is undergoing
an FDA clinical trial.
The technique involves separating X- and Y-bearing sperm by using laser light, dye, and a machine called
a flow cytometer. Once the sperm are divided, the specimens are inserted back into the woman through
artificial means, such as in vitro fertilization.A news release issued in October 2002 from the Genetics and IVF Institute reports that MicroSort
has a 91% success rate among couples wanting "girls," and a 73% rate for those wanting "boys."
So if this kind of medical procedures mentioned above are totally harmless to (Mother, offspring, and Father),
and if they do not attempt to do any genetic manipulation (=i.e. changing the DNA of the offspring --because to change and
manipulate the DNA of humans, or any other organisms, may be such a satanic practice that is strongly condemned in QURAN TESTAMENT
here 4/119-121)--
then it may be such a Great Blessing of our Lord AL-LAH unto all parents above, in this Final Age now.And finally, we should also certainly note that our Lord AL-LAH specifically mentions
the "daughters" first, and the "sons" thereafter, in this Verse above (=42/49),
and then,
the "sons" first, and the "daughters" thereafter, in this following Verse above (=42/50),
I think HE may also thus clearly be indicating to us
neither "daughters" nor "sons," are particularly more important and precious,
but they may thus be equally most important and precious,because the Most Essential thing is
whether "Male" or "Female," to be, equally, such a sincere, faithful and truthful Servant of AL-LAH,
here and forever (=49/13), in the first place.Remain in peace/salaam.
Whatever I have said that may be perfectly Correct and Right is from AL-LAH,
and whatever I have said that may be essentially or partially mistaken or wrong
may only be from my own self (shortcomings forgetfulness, hastiness, etc.) (=34/50) -
If parents choose the gender of their child it will create an imbalance because the birth rate is made almost 50-50 between male and female births.
That it is almost 50-50 might also show that it is intended one male per female in partnership.
Be well

Peace.I have been inactive for a while so there was much to reply to, 4 pages of unread threads. I did not reply to all though.
May the Force be with you too, good logic. And have a good new year.

Salaam/Peace to All,
best Wishes and Blessings, and perfect Guidance, and eternal Peace and Serenity for All here, and Worldwide
(7/196 = 10/62-64), in every new Year and all new Years to come, forever, inshaAL-LAH. (=56/10-40).What is most important to me, in this respect above now (=42/49-50),
in my understanding, our Lord AL-LAH thus grants Permission to us to wish to have a "daughter" or to have a "son"
according to our need or desire here (=42/49-50);
but all of HIS truthful Servants --(when/if they deem it absolutely necessary)-- should use this Permission, Responsibly,
--(taking into consideration, first, all of those (Religion-wise and health-wise and all other-wise) conditions and circumstances,
which I have tried to clearly emphasize in my previous post above, in the first place)--and then we should always thank AL-LAH for HIS immense Kindness and Benevolence therein (=42/49-50).
Personally, I would never attempt to choose the gender of my off-spring, in normal circumstances,
but only in such an extraordinary circumstance that only a "daughter" or only a "son"
could accomplish that specific mission (=3/36-37 & 19/7-12), then I would consider it,
and thus always thank AL-LAH for HIS immense Kindness and Benevolence therein (=42/49-50).Because sometimes our Lord AL-LAH does Cure us without any medicine or doctor,
or/and
sometimes HE does Cure us by letting us go to HIS Servants (=i.e. Doctors here in this case) and take some
(legal/lawful/halal) medicine here, first.
QURAN TESTAMENT 26/80 = 16/49-50 = 38/42 = .........So, in the same way, our Lord AL-LAH can Grant us a "daughter" or a "son" without any action or doctor,
or/and
HE can Grant us a "daughter" or a "son" by letting us go to HIS Servants (=i.e. Doctors here in this case)
and take some (legal/lawful/halal) action, first.
QURAN TESTAMENT 26/80 = 16/49-50 = 38/42 = .........Remain in peace/salaam.
