Summary
Haemophilia patients are not required to be circumcised because the procedure may harm them, but they must study the rules of purification with special attention so that their cleanliness and worship remain valid. For children with impaired mental capacity, the obligation depends on the severity of the brain impairment. All religious obligations, including circumcision, are lifted for children with severe brain impairment, and their families must ensure good personal hygiene for the child.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pesakit heamophilia tidak diwajibkan berkhatan kerana proses khatan boleh membawa mudharat! kepada pesakit.
