Female circumcision (sunat perempuan)

Dear mummies (muslim parents), can I check if you mummies still send your female daughters for female circumcision in this day and era? I'm asking coz my husband is a bit unwilling to let our baby girl go through such procedure as we are not able to find any supporting facts in the Quran with regards to female circumcision. I told my mum that I may not send my daughter for female Circumcision however she was kind of upset and the other day she sends me texts saying that my other siblings / her friends keep asking if we have send our girl for circumcision. Any mummies here that didn't send their girl for circumcision and may I know why? #advicepls #firstbaby #1stimemom #pleasehelp #babygirl

It is not obligatory but recommended. Anw, the procedure does not even hurt the baby, it’s just ‘syarat’ a tiny little snip like an ant bite for them. Most of the girls didn’t even cry after the procedure. I found this online, though it’s from Malaysia’s Mufti I think base line is there, excerpts from Quran and Sunnah. https://muftiwp.gov.my/artikel/al-kafi-li-al-fatawi/1336-al-kafi-419-hukum-berkhatan-bagi-kaum-wanita My advice is you seek clarification with MUIS Singapore regarding this. Wallahu’alam.
