The Stronger Position on the Issue of Female Circumcision

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is the stronger position on the issue of female circumcision? Is it obligatory or recommended?

The Shaykh:
By Allah, I am Ghaazi, and Allah knows best that it is obligatory.

The questioner:
And the Shaykh, may Allah preserve him.

The Shaykh:
But in the Shari'ah manner, not in the Pharaonic manner, or what they call writing, or what they call writing.
