The Ruling on Female Circumcision

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The ruling on circumcision for women, knowing that it has become widespread in recent times.

Answer:
It is a recommended practice (sunnah). Circumcision for women is due, and it is to be done when she is young, because it is easier for her. Its spread is not a problem, provided it is done in the prescribed manner; in that case, there is nothing wrong with it.
