"Why Female Circumcision Is a Must in Islam!
Did you know there are more ahadeeth specific to female circumcision than male circumcision?
1) The Prophet (PBUH) said: “When the (male) circumcised part meets the (female) circumcised part, bath becomes obligatory” (Ahmad, Tirmidhi)
2) Abdullah Ibn Umar states that the Prophet (PBUH) instructed some Ansar (Medinan) women visiting him to ‘be circumcised’ (Mukhtassar zawaid musnad al bazzar, Ibn Hajar).
3) The Prophet (PBUH) told Umm Atiyyah Al Ansariyyah, a lady who circumcised girls in Medina: “When you circumcise, cut plainly and do not cut severely, for it is beauty for the face and desirable for the husband” (Abu Dawud, Al Awsat of Tabarani and Tarikh Baghdad).
4) Umm Al Muhajir said: “I was captured with some girls from Byzantium. (Caliph) Uthman offered us Islam, but only myself and one other girl accepted Islam. Uthman said: ‘Go and circumcise them and purify them” (Adab al Mufrad of Bukhari)
5) Umm Alqamah says that when the nieces of Ayisha’s brother were circumcised, ‘A’isha was asked: “Shall we call someone to amuse them?” “Yes” she replied (Adab Al Mufrad)
It is clear that female circumcision is obligatory in Islam. That's why Hazrat Ayisha have her nieces circumcised and Caliph Uthman ordered women who had embraced Islam to be circumcised.
Our best scholars including Imam Shafi, Imam Hanbal, Ibn Taymiyyah and Sheikh Jaddul Haqq all declared female circumcision to be obligatory for women.
A good Muslimah follows the fitra of circumcising!"
