Circumcising boys twice


A: The prescribed circumcision is performed by cutting the foreskin of the penis on or after the seventh day after childbirth. As for the second circumcision in question, it is additional to the prescribed action and is baseless in the Shari`ah, and is thus Haram (prohibited). Similarly, it is not permissible to hold and receive money in such banquets, for this is considered to be obtaining people's money improperly.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
