Q & A: Is a Sex-Changing Operation Permissible?%0D%0A%0D%0ATranssexuals are such people who believe in their minds that they are%0D%0Atrapped within the bodies of the opposite sex. Those who are physically male%0D%0Abelieve in they are actually females and they want to be females physically%0D%0Aand demand operations to change their sex organs to suit their mental%0D%0Afeelings. Many of them resort to committing suicide if they do not have the%0D%0Anecessary sex change operations.%0D%0A%0D%0AQ: Is it permissible for them to undergo these sex change operations? Is it%0D%0Apermissible for Muslim physicians to perform these operations?%0D%0AA: In terms of Islamic Shar'i Principles, there is no way that a woman or%0D%0Aman (irrelevant of whether medical science classifies such people as%0D%0Atranssexuals or whatever) would be permitted to undergo a sex-change%0D%0Aoperation in order to change his%2Fher Allah-given gender status that of the%0D%0Aopposite sex.%0D%0A%0D%0AAllah has created each human as a member of a specific gender, male or%0D%0Afemale. If he%2Fshe now undergoes an operation to transform him%2Fherself into a%0D%0Amember of the opposite sex, he%2Fshe would be flagrantly violating many%0D%0Ainjunctions and commandments of the Qur'an and Hadith.%0D%0A%0D%0AIn order to protect and preserve the identity of each gender, Shari'ah has%0D%0Agone to the extent of even prohibiting males and females from merely%0D%0Aemulating members of the opposite gender, in their dress and appearance,%0D%0Aetc. How then would Shari'ah tolerate complete sex changing operations?%0D%0AHadhrat Mufti Mahmood Hasan Saheb Gangohi rahmatullahi alaihi has%0D%0Aemphatically mentioned its prohibition (see Fatdaa Mahmudiyya, Vol. 5, Pg.%0D%0A163].%0D%0A%0D%0AThe following hadith is noteworthy in this regard: " Rasulullah Sallallahu%0D%0A'alayhi wasallam cursed those men who emulate women and also those women who%0D%0Aemulate men." [as narrated by Bukhari. (Mishkat, Pg. 380)].%0D%0A%0D%0AFurthermore, undergoing a sex-change operation would tantamount to altering%0D%0Athe natural and normal features, organs and attributes given to a person by%0D%0AAllah Ta'ala. Altering and tampering with the creation of Allah Ta'ala for%0D%0Athe sake of undergoing a sexual transformation should hence be totally%0D%0Aforbidden. The prohibition of altering Allah-given normal feature and%0D%0Aattributes is labelled by the Qur'an as being a ploy of Shaytan, as the%0D%0Afollowing ayah of Surah Nisa illustrates: (Shaytan said): "And I will%0D%0Amislead them, and I will create in them false desires; I will order them to%0D%0Aslit the ears of cattle and to deface features and attributes created by%0D%0AAllah Ta'ala."%0D%0A%0D%0AAllah Ta'ala then warns people who fall prey to the ploys of Shaytan):%0D%0A"Whoever, lakes Shaytdn as a friend, while forsaking Allah, has surely%0D%0Asuffered a loss that is manifest." (Surah Nisa, ayah 119].%0D%0A%0D%0Aand Allah Ta'ala Knows Best%0D%0A%0D%0AMufti Muhammad Sa'eed Motara
