Leaving Circumcision Due to a Valid Excuse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number (6527)
Q: I have a cousin who is approximately 27 years old and has not been circumcised to this day; because the person mentioned is a fool and does not distinguish anything. I would like your fatwa on this: Is there a sin on me for leaving him uncircumcised, or is it obligatory? I look to Allah, then to you, for what you see.
A: Praise be to Allah alone, and blessings and peace be upon His Messenger, his family, and his Companions. After that: If the condition of the person mentioned is as the questioner stated, that he is a fool, and as the head of the Commission for Promoting Virtue and Preventing Vice stated, that he is insane, does not pray or fast, and there is a fear that if his cousin performs his circumcision, it will cause a catastrophe between him and his cousin, then there is no blame in leaving him uncircumcised, and there is no sin on his cousin in any case. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
