There is a widespread view among practitioners of female genital mutilation (FGM) that it is a religious requirement, although prevalence rates often vary according to geography and ethnic group. There is an ongoing debate about the extent to which the practice's continuation is influenced by custom, social pressure, lack of health-care information, and the position of women in society. The procedures confer no health benefits and can lead to serious health problems.

dbo:abstract
  • يرى كثير من ممارسي ختان الإناث أنه مطلب ديني، مع أن معدلات انتشاره تختلف في الغالب تبعًا للموقع الجغرافي والمجموعة العرقية. ما يزال النقاش مستمرًا حول مدى تأثر استمرارية الممارسة بالتقاليد والضغط الاجتماعي ونقص معلومات الرعاية الصحية ووضع المرأة في المجتمع. ليس للختان أي فوائد صحية بل إنه يمكن أن يؤدي إلى مضاعفات صحية خطرة. يُمارَس ختان الإناث غالبًا ضمن مجتمعات إسلامية معينة، لكنه موجود أيضًا في بعض الجماعات المسيحية والأرواحية المجاورة. لا تشجع أغلب المذاهب الإسلامية تلك الممارسة، فأغلب الفتاوى تحظر الختان لكن بعضها يشجع عليه، بينما يترك البعض الآخر القرار للآباء والأمهات مع تقديم المشورة بعدم تطبيقه. دخل الختان جنوب شرق آسيا عن طريق انتشار المذهب الشافعي، الذي يوجب الختان. ذُكر الختان في بردية يونانية من عام 163 ق.م، وتوجد إشارة غير مباشرة محتملة إليه على تابوت من المملكة الوسطى في مصر (1991-1996 ق.م). ووُجِد بين المسيحيين الأقباط في مصر والمسيحيين الأرثوذكس في إثيوبيا والبروتستانت والكاثوليك في السودان وكينيا. المجموعة اليهودية الوحيدة المعروفة بممارسته هي بيتا إسرائيل في إثيوبيا.

  • There is a widespread view among practitioners of female genital mutilation (FGM) that it is a religious requirement, although prevalence rates often vary according to geography and ethnic group. There is an ongoing debate about the extent to which the practice's continuation is influenced by custom, social pressure, lack of health-care information, and the position of women in society. The procedures confer no health benefits and can lead to serious health problems. FGM is practised predominantly within certain Muslim societies, but it also exists within some adjacent Christian and animist groups. The practice isn't required by most forms of Islam and fatwas have been issued forbidding FGM, favouring it, or leaving the decision to parents but advising against it. However, FGM was introduced in Southeast Asia by the spread of Shafi'i version of Islamic jurisprudence, which considers the practice obligatory. There is mention of it on a Greek papyrus from 163 BCE and a possible indirect reference to it on a coffin from Egypt's Middle Kingdom (c. 1991–1786 BCE). It has been found among Coptic Christians in Egypt, Orthodox Christians in Ethiopia, and Protestants and Catholics in Sudan and Kenya. The only Jewish group known to have practiced it are the Beta Israel of Ethiopia. (en)

  • Question: Is female circumcision obligatory or is tradition and merely recommended? (en)
  • Answer: If the purpose of female genital circumcision is cutting clitoris this operation is not right and is not a religious tradition. If the girl is hurt, it is prohibited. Female genital mutilation or cutting off a part of her genital is certainly a crime against girls and there is no permission and justification for parents to do this operation. (en)
