Praise be to Allah.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih Al-`Uthaymin (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
There is nothing wrong with finding out the sex of the baby before its birth unless it involves great expense.
It could be said that it is a waste of money because there is no need to know the sex of the baby except for the purposes of merely feeling happy because one knows whether it is a boy or a girl.
If finding out the sex of the baby in the mother's womb before its birth could not be achieved without spending a lot of money, then it is a waste of money and is not permitted.
And Allah knows best.
