The Ruling on Exposing the 'Awrah During the Circumcision of a Young Man in Front of People
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
When some tribes reach the age of maturity for a young man and he wants to get married, they gather the people of the village, then they bring him out in front of the people, expose his private parts, and then the one who wants to circumcise him begins the circumcision?
The Shaykh:
This is ignorance, a mistaken ignorance. One should point it out and it should be stopped. It is obligatory that this be pointed out and stopped. So he says it should be stopped, and this is not permissible. This is exposing his private parts. I seek refuge in Allah. He does not fear the ignorance of some of the kings? He should point this out and prevent it from the state.
