My sources are the Quran and the Sunnah of the prophet (saw). There is no FGM in the Quran and there is no FGM sanctioned by the prophet (saw). If Hazrat Ali (ra) made it a law, then either he is wrong, or someone else manipulated his words to enslave and oppress women.
Great.
BUT each book has it's own sources.
1. QURAN
It has many Tafseers and Translations to understand it. Each Tafseer or Translation has an opinion of the translator of Mufassirs belief.
2. SUNNAHWHICH TAFSEER, TRANSLATION do you follow?
Again, very general.
Do you have the teachings of Rasulullah SAW in his own words, writing, audio? (I didn't think so).
So, for this SUNNAH that you follow, you must go through a few SOURCES, BOOKS, AUTHORITY from which you derive your understandings.
PLEASE NAME ONE! ONE! For Each. (One for Quran Source and ONE for Sunnah source).
This isn't very difficult for a "scholar" like you. VERY EASY. Don't be a coward.
