The Time for Circumcising a Newborn
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is there a specific time prescribed by the Shari'ah for circumcising a newborn?
The Shaykh:
The time when it is easy for him to hasten to do it is easier for the newborn than leaving it until he grows up, for it becomes difficult for him when he is older. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Praise be to Allah. Medicine exists, surgery exists, and matters have become easier, and circumcision is to be done by a doctor. Yes.
