Is the deceased circumcised?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : We have reached the conclusion. Is he circumcised? If he died before being circumcised, do we circumcise him after death?
Answer : The answer is no. Circumcision is forbidden because it involves cutting a body part that is not separate in ruling. As for what precedes it, such as the nails and hair, they are separate in ruling. As for circumcision, it is not permissible. First, there is no necessity for it, as circumcision is only for completing ritual purity, and the deceased has ended. Second, it involves cutting a part of the deceased, so it is not permissible.
