Khatanat
(Circumcision) is an important practice in Rasulullah's (s.a) Shariat.
Rasulullah
(s.a) says: -
Khatanat
is natural. It implies that Allah initially creates a human in the
mother's womb with khatanat. Only later does a foreskin develop over
the reproductive organ. The child should be cleansed by removing it.
It is obligatory on mumineen to be careful about this. Children should
not be left without khatanat.
The custom of Dawat is that: - The joy's of the sons khatanat
is freely expressed, a feast is held, also a Sehra is worn. The son's
khatanat is to be hastened as it cleanses him.
Maulana Ali (a.s) says: -The Khafz of a daughter should not be
done before she is 7 years of age. While doing the khafz the entire
skin (clitoral) is not to be removed. A bit should be kept as it
enhances her colour and complexion and endears her to her husband. |
