| description | This book is concerned with the gender classical definition of the person with
ambiguous genitalia that does not fit into typical male or female category known as
hermaphrodite or intersex. It also compares the Islamic position with that of medical
science. It uses a qualitative method of articulating the above and examines as to how
medicine can manage such a condition. It finds that Islamic countries, including
Malaysia, depend on fatwÉs since they do not have a formal Islamic guideline at the
time of this study. The bigger problem in medical practice is that it encourages medical
intervention at infancy which may not fix the sex of such an infant when he/she attains
puberty. Therefore, this book proposes that a medical guideline based on an Islamic
framework can be helpful in dealing with this phenomenon. |
