Question

slm mufti, i read a hadith where a jew ibn salim approached the messenger (saw) and asked a few questions. one of them was1) how does a child resemble a parent? the prophet (saw) replied if the man climaxes first during intercourse the child will resemble him and if the woman climaxes firdt, the child will resemble her? Is this true?2) or is it true that a male will be conceived if the man climaxes first and a girl will be conceived if the woman climaxs first? please explain as i am confused. jazakallah khair

zd · Answer

Nabi (S.A.W) stated if the mans water precedes then it will be a male and vise versa. However this need not only refer to climax it can refer to what happens during internal fertilization.
