Ruling on circumcision for one who has become Muslim
Question: 106524
What is the ruling on circumcision for a new Muslim, and when should he get circumcised?.
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
Circumcision for the new Muslim is obligatory, as it is for
one is born Muslim, and he has to get circumcised when he becomes Muslim,
but if delaying it could serve some interest, such as avoiding putting him
off Islam, because Islam not yet established in his heart, there is
nothing wrong with that, because the evil that results from delaying
circumcision is less serious than the evil that results from his apostasy
from Islam after becoming Muslim. End quote.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him)
