What is the ruling on electrical circumcision or circumcision by cauterization?

Male circumcision involves excising the foreskin that covers the glans. Female circumcision involves excising part of the skin resembling a rooster's comb above the urinary opening, and it is recommended not to remove it entirely.

If electrical or cautery circumcision achieves the desired excision without harm, then it is permissible, although refraining from cautery is preferable due to the prohibition against it.

Circumcision is a Sunnah for males and becomes obligatory upon reaching puberty. The method used depends on what is medically safe and secure, and achieves the desired objective.
