Ruling on leaving a child uncircumcised out of fear for his life
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If a child is born with a disability, how is his circumcision to be performed, given that the doctor does not approve of performing any operation on him out of fear for his life?
Answer: If circumcision leads to the loss of life, the obligation of circumcision is dropped. Circumcision is a recommended practice (sunnah) according to the majority of scholars, although some scholars consider it obligatory. It is obligatory according to some and a recommended practice according to the majority. Therefore, if it cannot be performed without danger, it is dropped; but if it can be performed without danger, it is prescribed to perform it. Yes.
