Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: I am a woman with a son who is ten years old, and he is disabled, and his disability is total; he cannot move or speak. Her question is that he has now reached ten years of age and has not been circumcised. She asks: Is it obligatory for me to go and have him circumcised? And is there a sin on me for not doing so?
Answer:
By Allah, there is no doubt that circumcision is obligatory upon reaching puberty. It is obligatory upon reaching puberty. So let his doctor, a private doctor, circumcise him in his place. Yes.
