scans in pregnancy

[fatma]

assalamalaykum
i would like to know if it is permissable to find out if you are having a boy or girl when you go for a scan when pregnant. as i am 5 weeks pregnant and will be going for a scan in approx 4-8 weeks i would really appreciate if you could answer this question as soon as possible.
jazakallah khair

Speaking form experience, as I have three children and a wife, I dont think that they tell you at that stage whether the baby is going to be a boy or a girl.

If however they do, then there is no issue in finding out whether the baby is going to be a boy or a girl. It is merely gaining information from modern technology to see what it is, that exists...


Jazak'allah for your question.
