Is it prohibited in Islam? Can men or women go for this surgery  and in what circumstances?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>Islamic  Shar\u012b\u2018ah has not dealt with the matter of changing sex. We can though  form an opinion on the issue according to the guidance provided in the  Shar\u012b\u2018ah, basic moral values and innate guidance.<\/p>\n<div>You  would agree that for a normal human being desire to change \u2018sex\u2019 is  absent. Men and women both naturally pride themselves on being what they  are; they think about the interests and rights of other members of  their respective sexes: the terms \u2018male chauvinism\u2019 and \u2018feminism\u2019  though describe the undesirable extremes yet these are indicative of the  spirit I am just hinting at. Thus no one normally and naturally feels  aversion to having been born what he\/she is. <\/div>\n<div>Moreover,  it should be taken as a part of divine scheme. A person should live his  life being content with what Allah has decided. He has created us in a  particular sex and wants us to live as he has fashioned us. Therefore,  in normal circumstances, we should not tamper with the natural structure  assigned by the Almighty Himself.<\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-02-25<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6656\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I  want to know that what does Islam say about Gender Reassignment  Surgery.
