Female circumcision halal?

Bi ismillahir rahmanir raheem

My posts is clear and the hadith is clear.

the sunnah of rasul allah [sallah llahu alaihi wa sallam] is a source of law in islam.

without intending insult how long have you been a muslim as i find my self pointing out an obvious matter in our dean.

There is a ruling in the shafii madhab that says it is wajib, there is another ruling in the shafii madhhab that states it is not wajib but merely recommended, Hanafi's also hold it is not wajib.

no one can ever claim it is Haram becouse rasul allah gave instruction on this act specifically. It is a matter of personal choice for those who dont adhere to the wajib ruling of the shafii madhhab.

It is a valid ruling in Islam to perform female circumcision as rasul allah [sallah llahu alaihi wa sallam] described.

"Cut off only the foreskin (outer fold of skin over the clitoris; the prepuce) but do not cut off deeply (i.e. the clitoris itself), for this is brighter for the face (of the girl) and more favorable with the husband."

Mutilation occurs when the clitoris is cut or removed, this is the distinction between Islamic circumcision and FGM which westerners fail to see.

Jamal Badawi is welcome to prove this hadith is fabricated but until that occurs the above hadith remains the words of Rasul allah thus no person can ever claim for this to be Haram as aproval is clear even in the translation.

Please note that some people are very strongly of the opinion that it is halal.

Thats becouse it is halal, rasul allah [sallah llahu alaihi wa sallam] specifically spoke about it. islamic female circumcision is not mutilation only western fanatical idiots who confuse actual mutilation with islamic circumcision say such garbage, i suggest you look up what it means islamicaly before stating such things. If you have not learnt about this topic from Islamic sources dont comment on the Islamic aspects of the discussion.

Finaly i suggest you also do a search on this forum becouse it has been extensively discussed.
