Question:
You are asking about a child who died without being circumcised. You are debating with people, and some said: he should be circumcised, while others said: there is no need for circumcision. What is your guidance?
Answer:
If the child dies and has not been circumcised, there is no need to circumcise him, it is not obligatory to circumcise him, and it is not prescribed after his death, and praise be to Allah. Yes, it is a recommended practice (sunnah) whose time has passed. Yes.
The presenter: Allah is the One to be sought for help. Is its time during life?

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
