Desire for Male Offspring

 Question:

Both my brother-in-law (husband's younger brother) and I have four daughters each. It is our earnest desire that Allah Almighty bestow upon us the blessing of a son. I have recited countless litanies and spiritual prayers (Wazaif), but to no avail. For God's sake, impart a spiritual practice through which our longings may be realized.

Answer:

Feed your brother-in-law and his wife cabbage (band gobhi / karam kalla) twice daily, prepared in whichever manner they prefer to eat it—cooked with meat or as a vegetable dish. After continuous consumption for two months, God willing, your desire will be fulfilled.
