Question:
Assalaamoe alaykoem,
All choicest blessings to Allahs beloved one, Nabee Muhammed (sws).
Is it true that if you have a daughter first, your marriage is more blessed than having a son first? My aunt always said that its not a good sign to have a boy first as ones marriage isn’t blessed, I believe all kids are innocent and not bringers of doom but would like to know the Islamic ruling.
Shukran
Answer:
Wa alaykum salam,
Allah (swt) gives children and we have to accept His wisdom in selecting their gender. Which one is first – a boy or girl – has nothing to do with Shariah rulings.
