Why is it not permissible for a husband to be present while his wife is giving birth?

Answer

Some issues are readily understood by Muslims if their Imaan has not been corrupted by modernism and westernism. It is natural for a Mu‟min to understand that it is vile and utterly shameless for a man to be in the room when a ghayr mahram female is busy with his wife giving birth. When it is not permissible for a man to even look at a strange woman, how can it ever be permissible for him to look at a woman handling the naked body of his wife. Such a man is bereft of the slightest vestige of haya (shame).

The demand for Qur‟aan and Hadith proof stems from extreme deficiency of Imaan. What is the Qur‟aan or Hadith proof for the prohibition of a woman urinating in public in the street? There are thousands of issues for which there is no specific Qur‟aan/Hadith reference, hence Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Seek a fatwa from your heart."

If there is valid Imaan in the heart, then one will not have asked this stupid question. One‟s heart is supposed to answer it. Her heart would have issued the correct fatwa.
