Why did Allah create the intersex person?
The general wisdom behind the disparity among people in their health, sickness, wealth, poverty, strength, and weakness is trial and test, as Allah Almighty says: {And it is He who has made you successors on the earth and has raised some of you above others in degrees [of rank] that He may try you in what He has given you.} [Al-An'am: 165]. And the creation of the intersex individual is a trial for them through patience, and a trial for others through gratitude for well-being.
And destiny (Al-Qadar) is Allah's secret in His creation, and the root of people's misguidance is delving into it. The believer must submit and concede that Allah is All-Wise, Who creates only for a profound wisdom, and His actions are between justice and grace, and He wrongs no one.
Allah has kept the knowledge of destiny hidden from His creation, and delving deeply into it is a means to failure and transgression. So beware, utmost beware, of delving into it; for His saying, the Almighty: {He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.} [Al-Anbiya: 23]. Servants cannot encompass Allah's complete wisdom, just as they cannot encompass His essence, and a general knowledge of His wisdom is sufficient, even if they do not know its details.
