Woops, a type-o.
I meant FGM, female genital mutilation. Regards, Francis Begbie. |

FGM is a cultural practice in some African countries. It has nothing to do with Islam, though much of such practices are fueled on the name of religion, be it Islam for Muslims or Christianity for Christians of that culture.

Hmmm, there seems to be a difference of opinion here;
Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi whoever finds it serving the interest of his daughters should do it, and I personally support this under the current circumstances in the modern world. But whoever chooses not to do it is not considered to have committed a sin for it is mainly meant to dignify women as held by scholars. Islamic rule on female circuncision (FGM) How would this "dignify women" I wonder ? |

I am afraid you are mixed up in your understanding of FGM as compared to female circumcision. The later is a small cut in the hood of the clitoris, the former is much more and completely forbidden in Islam. Anything more than a small cut is not circumcision at all, but mutilation. I do hope this clears up the misunderstanding. Just to be clear, female circumcision is not obligatory in Islam. |

I don't believe I am mixed up or misunderstanding anything.
