Why cut it?

Shah Walliullah – Dirt could go inside the foreskin and would be difficult to remove or wash hence Salah will not be accepted.

Doctor's also say by dirt entering can cause infection.

To reduce the carnal desires of a person, if it is not cut the sexual desires are increased.

But to experience complete sexual desire Reduced the sexual desire. That's why it is

more emphasised for men.

Why has Allah given us this command?

It is from the Sha'airul Allah (Signs of Allah) This is Allah's sign on his people. Just the way Kings make a symbol for his

people etc.

Our answer is, even we hold the view it is not necessary for girls.

As Allah says in the Quran: "Allah does not want to place burden on you.

Rather, He wants to purify you and to complete His favours to you so that you may be grateful." (5:7)
