Question
Is it correct to get one's child circumcised (mistakenly or knowlingly) by a woman doctor? This is happening in many parts of the world. Please provide a ruling on this issue.
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah:
It is OK for a female doctor to circumcise an infant boy. And Allaah is the Source of strength.
