Is there any saheeh hadeeth about the circumcision of females?
Question

                Is there any evidence, such as a sahih hadeeth, that states that the prophet of Allah (Blessings and peace be upon him) had or allowed his wives and/or daughters to be circumcised in any shape or form?.
Praise be to Allah.We do not 
    know of any hadeeth in which the Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah 
    be upon him) ordered that his wives or daughters be circumcised, but it is 
    narrated that he  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) advised a 
    woman who did circumcision in Madeenah as to the proper way of circumcision. 
    It was narrated by Abu Dawood (5271), al-Tabaraani in al-Awsat, and 
    al-Bayhaqi in al-Shu’ab from Umm ‘Atiyyah al-Ansaariyyah that a woman 
    used to do circumcision in Madeenah, and the Prophet  (peace and 
    blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to her: “Do not go to the extreme in 
    cutting; that is better for the woman and more liked by the husband.” This 
    hadeeth was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood. 
According to 
    another report: “Take only a little and do not go to extremes.” 
It is also 
    indicated by the general meaning of the evidence that has been narrated 
    concerning circumcision, such as the hadeeth in al-Bukhaari (5891) and 
    Muslim (527) from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him): I heard the 
    Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “The fitrah is 
    five things – or five things are part of the fitrah – circumcision, shaving 
    the pubes, trimming the moustache, cutting the nails and plucking the armpit 
    hairs.”  
In Saheeh 
    Muslim (349) it is narrated from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with 
    her) that the Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: 
    “When a man sits between the four parts (arms and legs of his wife) and the 
    two circumcised parts meet, then ghusl is obligatory.”
According to 
    a report narrated by al-Tirmidhi (109) and elsewhere: “When the two 
    circumcised parts meet…”  
Al-Bukhaari 
    used this phrase as a chapter heading. 
Al-Haafiz 
    ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: What is meant by this 
    metaphor is the circumcised parts of the man and the woman. 
Female 
    circumcision is done by cutting a small part of the skin that looks like a 
    rooster’s comb, above the exit of the urethra. The Sunnah is not to cut all 
    of it, but rather a part of it. Al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah (19/28). 
The 
    Shaafa’is, the Hanbalis according to the well-known view of their madhhab, 
    and others are of the view that circumcising women is obligatory. Many 
    scholars are of the view that it is not obligatory in the case of women; 
    rather it is Sunnah and is an honour for them. 
But we would 
    like to point out here that it has medical benefits to which attention 
    should be paid, regardless of the difference of opinion among the scholars 
    as to whether it is obligatory or mustahabb. This has been discussed in the 
    answer to question no. 45528. 
And Allaah 
    knows best.
