The answer

The hadith is authentic, narrated by Muslim and others. Its purport is that the man's fluid is white and the woman's fluid is yellow. If the man's fluid overrides the woman's fluid, the offspring will be male, by Allah's permission. And if the woman's fluid overrides the man's fluid, the offspring will be female, by Allah's permission.
