gender

How should the situation where men outnumber women by a vast majority in a disaster area be treated? For example, we have recently heard about the gender imbalance in the Aceh region. The majority of the dead in the Asian tsunami disaster were women and children, so there are now many men without wives. What are the roles of Muslim governments and Muslims in general in this urgent crisis?

i am 18 years old. next year i will go to university, insha,allah.  i take my deen seriously, alhamdulillah. i want to study to be an opthalmic optician. this will mean that sometimes i would have to touch men's faces to examine their eyes. please advice if this is appropriate. thanks.

AssalamualaykumAbout treating children fairly.If your parents spend £5000 on their daughters wedding, should they spend the same amount on their sons wedding?

Assalamu 'alaikum, my question is regarding the medical procedure that can be performed to choose the gender of a child. If someone has only daughters and wants a son, or vice versa, is it halal to use this procedure or would it be considered a clear transgression and haram. Jazak Allah.

Did such a thing ever happen in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the four rightly guided caliphs?

Dear scholars, As-Salaam `Alaykum. My purpose of writing to you is to seek clarification pertaining to the Islamic point of view with regards to the sex change operation for male transsexuals (not hermaphrodites). These group of people have complete male physical attributes but feel completely female inside. In short, a female trapped in a male's body. In Islam, is sex change allowed for this group of people? If it is allowed, I would appreciate very much if you could provide relevant excerpts from the Qur'an or Hadith. Jazakum Allah khayran.
