Re: Genital Mutilation Is Anti-Circumcision
Bro Muslim first,
There are authentic hadith where the prophet pbuh did not stop this practice (search islamqa for enough evidences), Although I wont get it done for my people nevertheless it is NOT HARAM, Whether it is sunnah is debatable. And WHY dont people call circumcision as MGM Male Genital Mutilation? You will also find a strong lobby in USA against circumcision who treat it like FGM.
There are reports in the Sunnah which indicate that circumcision for women is prescribed in Islam. In Madeenah there was a woman who circumcised women and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to her: “Do not go to the extreme in cutting; that is better for the woman and more liked by the husband.” Narrated by Abu Dawood (5271), classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.
