Bro Luntang,

Thanks for the forward.


Imam Janneh

“Women circumcisions have being existing long before religion came to us.”

How old is religion then. I am of the belief it dates back to the time of 
creation –Adama and Hawa/Eve, May God be pleased with them.



“My suggestion concerning the matter of women circumcision is that, 
individuals directly involved must be invited to have their say on the 
matter through which ways and means of a favorable solution could be reached 
to satisfy both partners. They shouldn’t be put aside otherwise the whole 
issue will be meaningless to debate.”

Well, the imam’s first argument, go to the Quran & hadith. Now, he says 
invite people on the table. That is encouraging!

Imam Nafisah


2. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is reported to have passed by a 
woman performing circumcision on a young girl. He instructed the woman by 
saying: "Trim, but do not cut into it, for this is brighter for the face (of 
the girl) and more favorable with the husband." [ Mu`jam al-Tabarânî 
al-Awsat (2274)]

What definition can we give to ‘trim’ and ‘cut’, in actual practical?

Accept my appreciation of your length but worthy forward.

Fii’amanil lah!!
