Bro Rami,

Its not me who introduced this quote "See Silsilah al-Ahadith al-Da‘ifah by al-Albani, no. 1935.", but it was done by  abuayisha in her earlier posting, however, I see my mistake by not putting her comments in quotes in my own reply. Also we, or atleast I, would like to know more about true sunnah of our Prophet on the topic rather than knowing the "Big people's names" of some madhib or behind any website. All your quotes on the topic has done is to provide the final verdict, but not the evidence on which they based their view. Cheers!  

Seems to me that if god wanted your body to be thus-and-so he would have made it thus-and-so.

>>>You could have proves allowing circumcision from the madhhabs which I am just hearing for the first time yet confusing and contradicting.<<<

If you mean by contradicting that the madhhab has more than one rulling, in a madhhab there can be more than one position held by different scholars in the madhhab usually these are labeled as the major and minor positions of the madhhab meaning the majority of say the shafii madhhab agree on such and such a ruling, so this would be regarded as the stronger position while the other is the weaker. It is permisable to follow either the major or minor position 's but it is more recomended to follow the major, everything is by intention.

>>>So probably you could enlighten me more on what bida'a is in a way other than mine.<<<

you may like to read the following article,

The Sunni Definition of Bid`a, By Dr G.F Hadad

>>>There fore they should please provide a prove where he practiced circumcision on his daughters and wives...that would really help me understand better and of course change my view, but if it’s just a culture accepted by the madhhab point of view, then Alhamdulillah I am out.<<<

Personaly i dont know much on this rulling except for what i posted, i dont know what the key proofs are since Reliance of the traveller is a book of ruilings in the shafii madhhab it does not discuss the key proofs, the author in the book said he will translate the key proofs at a latter date in a sister work titled "The Guidance of the Traveller" they are there in arabic but not translated as of yet. If you read my post from sunni path again more carefully you will see that the shaffi positions is that it is approved act but since the art has died out it is no longer practiced.

Please read what i posted again more carfully they do not contradict but complament and further explain each other.

>>>Its not me who introduced this quote "See Silsilah al-Ahadith al-Da‘ifah by al-Albani, no. 1935.", but it was done by  abuayisha in her earlier posting<<<

I am sorry for the mistake i didnt notice.

Everyone please use quotation marks when posting it would save a lot of confusion.

>>>rather than knowing the "Big people's names" of some madhib or behind any website.<<<

for that you will have to see a scholar who is familiar with the rullings of the shafii madhhab, i am not. The rulling i gave was not simply from a website of some madhhab it was from reliance of the traveler a book about the rullings of Imam An Nawawi A mujtahid Imam in the shafii Madhhab, i dont understand what you will do once you see what the proofs are you are not in a position to analise the rulings of a mujtahid to know how he arrived at his position.

>>> brother Rami I have PM'ed you on this issue the obscene articles posted by Ameena99999 describe forms of mutilation that are HARAM in all madhabs these articles have been deleted from every other Islamic forum they have been posted on in the past so I suggest you do the same inshaAllah<<<

What i posted was in relation to female circumcision not mutalation, we have to make that point clear. Mutalation is haram without question but curcumcision is not.

Just a note for everyone asking to see proofs that rasull allah (sallah llahu alaihi wa sallam) practiced this act we need to understand how islamic rulings are arrived at, The quran and the sunnah are our primary sources but so are the companions of the prophet and the actions of the tabe'een.

Generaly speaking we need to learn about Usul al Fiqh "the methodolgy of how our scholars arive at rullings in islam". I am not a scholar and have a very basic understanding of the matter but i think some knowledge is required it is not as simple as finding a hadith wich clearly says dont do such and such, that is over simplistic.

Insh allah if people have the time please read

USUL AL FIQH AL ISLAMI; SOURCE METHODOLOGY IN ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE

http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/law/alalwani_usulalfiqh/

Imam Al Shafii played a Key role in developing this science.

There is a reason why our scholars are respected, they are smarter than we are, allah in the quran says "are those who know equal with those who dont?" he himself streses a difference between those who know and those who dont.

wonder what happened to the initial two posts, especially the first lengthy experience... now it seems that it was me who generated the subject.
