Are there any verses in the Qur'an that indicate pregnancy with a female or male?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There are no verses in the Holy Quran that specify the gender of a fetus. It is a book of guidance for humanity, leading them from darkness into light. The cosmic laws mentioned in it are meant to establish proof against the obstinate. The Quran was not revealed to teach medicine or crafts. Any scientific allusions within it must be deduced according to specific legal principles, ensuring they do not contradict the meaning of the verse, that the meaning is correct, that the wording implies it, and that there is a connection and correlation between them.
