Islam’s holy book the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad’s Sunnah [sayings and traditions] have no evidence on the obligation to circumcise daughters through FGM, Ahmed al-Maliki, an Azhar researcher of Islamic Shaira (law), said on Monday.
During an interview with the “Raei Aam” TV program on TeN channel, Maliki added that “Egyptian law criminalizes female genital mutilation (FGM) because it causes harm and death to [daughters].”
He clarified that Al-Azhar established a media center to monitor fatwas (religious edicts) in 12 foreign languages, and it sent religious caravans worldwide to correct the distorted image of Islam.
