Circumcision for new-Muslims

Q: This question is on behalf of a revert brother that is planning to get married. He would like to know what is the ruling on circumcision for a male revert to Islam in the light of Hanafi fiqh as well as Shaafi fiqh? What is the ruling of ghusl after relations with regards to not being circumcised? Would ghusl be valid if he is not circumcised? Any other advise for the brother would be accepted.

Body talk and Reiki

Q: Your fatwa response on body talk an reiki is noted however the problem we here is Azaadville have a bigger issue having to deal with the influence of EFT, which is promoted by an Aalimah, and has changed it to EHT to make it more islamic, however basic processes included Allah awareness but is still based on EFT and its practices, so if it is promoted by an Aalimah how do we convince people its a non-islamic practice? Also she says she has approval from some mufti in PMB yet no local muftis besides that approve body talk. What is sad is that most Aalimahs attend and approve her courses, so how do we get messages out or prevent people from being misled?
