Signs determining the sex of the hermaphrodite between alfiqh and medicine

Abstract

This article deals with the issue of the hermaphrodite, and the signs of determining its sex, according to Sharia jurists  and medical scientists. The Sharia jurists identified several signs that are all outward, most of which appear after puberty, while medical scientists have adopted signs  internal, including internal genitalia, chromosomal, hormonal and glandular structures, And we see that the signs adopted by medical scientists   better than those adopted by Sharia jurists, because they are broader, more comprehensive and more accurate, and there is no room for doubt, contradiction , and they can be identified in advanced stages of pregnancy, or immediately after birth without waiting for puberty
