Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is circumcision a condition for the validity of Islam?
Answer:
Circumcision for a male is obligatory, not a condition of Islam. It is one of the obligations of Islam for a male. A man who has not been circumcised is still a Muslim, even if he has not been circumcised. He is a Muslim, but he has left an obligation if he is able to do it. As for one who is unable to do it, he is excused. Yes. Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions.
