are all muslim men circumcised?

Question

why they have to get circumcised ?? I mean is it necessary among them??

how about every newborn boy does they also get circumcised???(no religion related)

Answer 1

Well, yes.
Circumcision is mandatory for Muslims based on tradition, but it is not mentioned in the Qur'an itself.

As to why is it necessary:
Dr. Muhammad ‘Ali al-Baar (a member of the Royal College of Surgeons in the UK and a consultant to the Islamic Medicine department of the King Fahd Centre for Medical Research in the King Abdul Aziz University in Jeddah) says in his book al-Khitaan (Circumcision):

“Circumcision of newborn boys (i.e., within the first month of life) brings numerous health benefits, including:

1 – Protection against local infection in the penis, which may result from the presence of the foreskin, causing tightening of the foreskin, which may lead to retention of urine or infections of the glans (tip) of the penis – which require circumcision in order to treat these problems. In chronic cases, the child may be exposed to numerous diseases in the future, the most serious of which is cancer of the penis.

2 – Infections of the urethra. Many studies have proven that uncircumcised boys are more exposed to infection of the urethra. In some studies the rate was 39 times more among uncircumcised boys. In other studies the rate was ten times more. Other studies showed that 95% of children who suffered from infections of the urethra were uncircumcised, whereas the rate among circumcised children did not exceed 5%.

In children, infection of the urethra is serious in some cases. In the study by Wisewell on 88 children who suffered infections of the urethra, in 36 % of them, the same bacteria was found in the blood also. Three of them contracted meningitis, and two suffered renal failure. Two others died as a result of the spread of the micro-organisms throughout the body.

3 – Protection against cancer of the penis: the studies agree that cancer of the penis is almost non-existent among circumcised men, whereas the rate among uncircumcised men is not insignificant. In the US the rate of penile cancer among circumcised men is zero, whilst among uncircumcised men it is 2.2 in every 100,000 of the uncircumcised population. As most of the inhabitants of the US are circumcised, the cases of this cancer there are between 750 and 1000 per year. If the population were not circumcised, the number of cases would reach 3000. In countries where boys are not circumcised, such as China, Uganda and Puerto Rico, penile cancer represents between 12-22 % of all cancers found in men; this is a very high percentage.

4 – Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Researchers found that the STDs which are transmitted via sexual contact (usually because of fornication/adultery and homosexuality) spread more among those who are not circumcised, especially herpes, soft chancres, syphilis, candida, gonorrhea and genital warts.

There are numerous modern studies which confirm that circumcision reduces the possibility of contracting AIDS when compared to their uncircumcised counterparts. But that does not rule out the possibility of a circumcised man contracting AIDS as the result of sexual contact with a person who has AIDS. Circumcision is not a protection against it, and there is no real way of protecting oneself against the many sexually transmitted diseases apart from avoiding fornication/adultery, promiscuity, homosexuality and other repugnant practices. (From this we can see the wisdom of Islamic sharee’ah in forbidding fornication/adultery and homosexuality).

5 – Protection of wives against cervical cancer. Researchers have noted that the wives of circumcised men have less risk of getting cervical cancer than the wives of uncircumcised men.

From al-Khitaan, p. 76, by Dr. Muhammad al-Baar.


Regarding your last question, not every newborn boy gets circumcised.

Answer 2

Muslim men are all circumcised. Male circumcision is mentioned in some parts of the Hadith, but not in the Qur'an.

Newborn boys do not have to be circumcized for health reasons but culture, religion, and social expectations sometimes dictate it.

Answer 3

as a religious practice Muslim men get circumcised.but as a religious order it is only mandatory( sun nah --to prefer the best)not compulsory.some of the African tribes and Europeans are also prefer to circumcise due to health reasons.Muslims and Jews are doing it even from the old historic period and it started as a mandatory thing from the period of Abraham.may be the human society find this method because of sexual conveniences from the old days itself.a circumcised penis is less inclined for sexual diseases and more convenient for sexual acts.less sensitivity of fern um can delay ejaculation and the absence of smegma(white substance inside the foreskin)may protect from uterus cancer for the partners.
about the newborn baby----that depends upon the decision of the parents to circumcise while they are newborn .as a newborn child it can be curred with umbilical cord.advantage is cleanliness of the sexual organ and more active movement in the sexual acts while they are grown up.

Answer 4

Muslims follow the Old Testement closer than Christians, and keep Kosher, so they may have to be circumcised. I'm not exactly sure though.

Answer 5

Because its a religious duty just like with Judaism it is to promote cleanliness because if a man is not circumcised it leaves for nastiness....have you ever seen a penis? with the extra skin still attached it covers the head where it holds in dirt it just gross

Answer 6

I'm circumcised, but I never blew anything up. I guess that means I'm half muslim. No I'm an American first, muslim? I guess I could be, but I'm not.
