Circumcision of children by a nurse

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a woman to perform the circumcision of children if she is a nurse?

Answer:
Yes, what is the obstacle? A woman may perform the circumcision of children and the circumcision of women as well, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Lower it and do not cut it awayاخفضي ولا تنهكي،
