Assalam o Alaikum Mufti Sahab! I am a married woman having five baby girls but don’t have a son.i have a great desire of a son but my husband says we should not try another baby as if there is no son in our fate then there is no need to increase the family size.but i have a great desire of a son but my husband doesnot cooperate with me in this regard.i am very hopeful that Allah will give us a son but my husband is perhaps hopeless and disappointed in this issue.i have been suggested a spiritual and medical treatment for having a son but my husband doesnot allow me to go for this ilaj.does shariah allow me to use wazaif and medicine for the birth of a son without the permission of husband or not?also suggest me dua or wazifa i can recite so that my husband cooperate with me for the birth of a son and allow me to have a treatment.also suggest wazifa for a son.jazakaAllah

The thoughts and ideas of your husband are not Islamic. Having a number of children is liked in Islam, so you should make your husband ready for that. No one has the knowledge of future. Hence, the quote of your husband that no son has been destined for us is not right. Do not undergo any treatment without your husband’s permission. Study Bahishti Zewar and recite the wazifa mentioned there.
