Circumcision

Q1211: If it is impossible to circumcise a boy, then what will he have to do concerning his legal obligations such as Hajj and marriage?

A: Circumcision is not a necessary condition for marriage, but for the circumambulation of the Holy Kaaba, he should both perform it himself and have someone perform it on their behalf as a precaution.

Q1212: I am an 18-year old boy who has not been circumcised due to being hemophiliac, because if I receive any wound or injury, my blood will not coagulate and I will bleed to death. What shall I do concerning my religious obligations such as praying, fasting and marriage?

A: Circumcision is a divine obligation and any obliged adult boy must be circumcised, but in case of such a hardship mentioned in the question, it is not obligatory, and owing to its being fatal and harmful to you, it is even illegal and sinful, and if it causes a person to die, it is considered as homicide; circumcision is not a necessary condition for the validity of one's worship and marriage, except for the circumambulation in Hajj; after all, you should, at the time of marriage, inform the girl's family of your disease.
