Question:

Assalam mu Alaikum

I wanted to know if it’s okay to find out the gender of the baby you’re having?

Me, personally did not find out with my son & now with this baby I am not finding out.

To me, everything is already written for us, that’s just my choice.

But from an Islamic point of view?

Jazaak Allah

Answer:

Wa Alaikum as Salaam,

Yes, it’s okay to find out the gender of the baby you are going to have.

And Allah knows best,
