Circumcision

Circumcision for women

Q: Could you please provide references from the Quran Sharif and Hadith on whether circumcision of women is compulsory in Islam or not? I have heard that it can be harmful and dangerous for women and can even cause death, if not done correctly.

Born circumcised

Q: My age is 27 years and I am not married. When I was born I was not circumcised. Recently when I went to the doctor for circumcision, the doctor told me that I do not need circumcision as there is no foreskin over the head of my private part. In medical terms this condition is called aposthia, which is rare, in this case there is no foreskin naturally to be removed. When my private part is flaccid, the skin doesn't cover my private part head and also doesn't cover when its erect. But there is very little foreskin which, when I pull then when my private part is flaccid it retracts back. My private part looks like it is naturally circumcised but in actual fact its not. I am curious to know whether I still need a surgery to remove more skin or its just fine and I do not need to undergo a surgery. Will I commit a sin if I do not undergo circumcision? What does Islam say about natural circumcision?

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.
