There is nothing wrong with finding out the sex of the baby before its birth unless it involves great expense.

There are two methods of test-tube babies which are acceptable as a last resort in cases of necessity: 1- When the sperm is taken from the husband and an egg is taken from the wife, fertilization is done externally, then the embryo is planted in the womb of the wife. 2- When the sperm of the husband is taken and injected into a suitable place in the cervix or womb of the wife so that fertilization may take place internally.

1- Medical treatment or seeking a cure is allowed. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Allah has sent down the disease and the cure, and has made for every disease the cure. So treat sickness, but do not use anything haram.” 2- The patient should not forget to put his trust in Allah and seek refuge in Him, for the gates of Heaven are open to those who call on Allah.
