Ruling on female
    circumcision
Question

                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?
Praise be to Allah.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.
