Is female circumcision sunnah or a bad
practice? I read in a magazine that female circumcision in any form is a bad practice that
is harmful from a medical point of view, and that it may sometimes lead to sterility. Is
this correct?
Circumcising females is sunnah; it is neither a bad practice or harmful, if it is done within moderation. When extreme forms of female circumcision are carried out, harm may result.
