There are reports in the Sunnah which indicate that circumcision for women is prescribed in Islam.
In Madeenah there was a woman who circumcised women 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.”  Narrated by Abu Dawood (5271), classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.

Female circumcision has not been prescribed for no reason, rather there is wisdom behind it and it brings many benefits.


The secretions of the labia minora accumulate in uncircumcised women and turn rancid, so they develop an unpleasant odour which may lead to infections of the vagina or urethra. I have seen many cases of sickness caused by the lack of circumcision.

Circumcision reduces excessive sensitivity of the clitoris which may cause it to increase in size to 3 centimeters when aroused, which is very annoying to the husband, especially at the time of intercourse.

Another benefit of circumcision is that it prevents stimulation of the clitoris which makes it grow large in such a manner that it causes pain.

Circumcision prevents spasms of the clitoris which are a kind of inflammation.

Circumcision reduces excessive sexual desire.

For us in the Muslim world female circumcision is, above all else, obedience to Islam, which means acting in accordance with the fitrah and following the Sunnah which encourages it.



And Allaah knows best.

It wasn't my issue: it was yours.

You posted:

"I doubt that very much   male circumcision is mainly done in hospitals...dna   not in some antiquated old ladies back room...."

And:

"why do we not hear anything about male mutilation in that case?.   are males done at birth perhaps  I know thats the case with Jews ... somehow I do not believe what we called backstreet medics.. would give much of a stuff about hygiene".

You introduced the subject of male circumcision, not me.

Male circumcision is not done to reduce sex drive or pleasure this is where male and female circumcision differs.

Female circumcision is done with the intention of reducing sexual pleasure and desire for sex with women. A muslim man can have 4 wives so that might explain the idiocy behind this barbaric religious custom
