QUESTION: Why is the practice of female circumcision important in the Muslim religion?

ANSWER: Our Islamic scholars believe that female circumcision is different from male circumcision. They have a strong view that female circumcision is allowed, and that there is no evidence from Islamic sources prohibiting female circumcision, unless it is pharaonic [infibulation, Type 3, involves the removal of part or all of the external genitalia - clitoris, labia majora, labia minora - and stitching and/or narrowing of the vaginal opening, leaving a small hole for urine and menstrual flow].

Q: Do you believe there is a religious requirement for female circumcision in the Islamic community?

A: The Muslims following the views of modern Islamic scholars feel that female circumcision makes certain medical difficulties and problems for women, but not in all its forms. Therefore, they are not in a position to ban it.

Q: Why it genital cutting important to Islamic culture?

A: This tradition, whether it is female or male circumcision, was done starting from prophet Muhammad and we have practiced it for the last 1,000 years. He ... did not prohibit it, but gives the advice to moderate the surgery.

So we, as Muslims, believe that the prophet's advice was to moderate it - therefore, there is no problem with it in the religion. This conference, and the medical research associated with it, does not show that the Sunnah circumcision - cutting only the outer part of the clitoris - has caused any medical complications.

There is a difference between hot weather areas and cold weather areas. Most of the Islamic scholars live in hot weather areas, so that they support non-pharaonic female circumcision. But they have also an opinion that people living in cold weather - like in Europe - do not need female circumcision. In Ethiopia, we believe in the towns and the cities, Muslims mostly do not circumcise their females.
