Question

I am pregnant and just found out that we are going to have a baby GIRL by an ultrasound Alhamdulillah. This is my first child and me and my husband were actually desperately looking forward for a BOY. I wanted to ask that is this OK in shariah to still pray and beg for a baby BOY to ALLAH (SWT) even after knowing that there is a girl and also knowing that there are also some chances of being this ultrasound WRONG i feel confused please guide me with this?

Answer

In the name of Allah Most Merciful Most Compassionate

I pray you are well and in the best of health and iman.

These tests can be wrong and many times are. It's wisest to make dua for a righteous healthy child because you don't which is better for you a son or a daughter.

And Allah alone gives success.
