Is it from the Sunnah to circumcise my daughter?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah to do you good, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it from the Sunnah to circumcise my daughter?

Answer:
Circumcising females is a recommended practice (sunnah), whereas circumcising males is obligatory. However, do not circumcise her until she is of an age where she can understand; it must be done by a female circumciser who is knowledgeable about the procedure. Yes.
