Finding Baby Gender

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org

Assalamualaikum,

I was wondering if it is allowed in Islam to find out the gender of the baby?

الجواب وباللہ التوفیق

To find the sex of the baby in the womb of the mother is not a good action in itself. One has to expose herself and show her private part in front of the doctor unnecessarily and this is not such a necessity that one should expose herself for it, hence the Ulama have told it to be impermissible.  

واللہ اعلم بالصواب
