How Do Hadiths on Fluids, Resemblance, and Gender Determination Align with Scientific Findings?

Answered by Mawlana Ilyas Patel

Question

How do hadiths about male and female fluids, child resemblance, and gender determination align with scientific understanding, particularly regarding terms like “woman’s fluid,” “preceding or dominating,” and resemblance to parents or relatives?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate

I would like you to read through the previous answers related to this topic. Modern science is an observation of the nature of the world through a human lens, and the Quran and authentic hadiths are factual.

– The Quran: Science and the Unseen
– Hadiths at odds with science
– Were We Created From the Coccyx Bone?
– How Do We Reconcile the Two Hadith of Embryology?
– If Gender is Decided at Conception, Why Does the Hadith Say it is Decided on the 40th Day?

I pray this helps answer your question.
