Evidence for Female Circumcision

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Unless there is evidence indicating it is recommended, regarding female circumcision.

Answer:
The evidence for it is abundant. It came in the reports on circumcision, along with the general statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that there are five things of fitrah (the innate natural disposition), including circumcision and letting the beard grow, which are general.
