Explaining the Jurisprudential Ruling of "Determining the Sex of Fetus" in Islamic Religions

The present study investigated the jurisprudential ruling on the determination of the sex of the fetus. The determination of the fetus in the modern way is one of the emerging issues of medicine. The determination of the sex of the fetus is that the parents, choosing their gender, by taking steps before coagulation of the sperm in order to prevent the birth of newborns with genetic diseases related to the sex or if the parents have considered the particular gender of the child, uses the determination of the embryo. Some jurisprudents, referring to verse 49 of surah al-Shoura, oppose the work mentioned above, but the advocates of determining the sex of the fetus, according to verse 5 of the surah of Maryam, have permitted the desire for a particular gender, and some have also ceased to exist. It can be said that by following a special diet and for the health of the generation of some hereditary diseases, it is permissible to use the method of determining the sex of the fetus if it is necessary and if there is permission before fertilization if it does not hurt the mother.
