The answer

It is mentioned that the ruling on circumcision according to the Shafi'i school is obligatory for both men and women. If a woman was not circumcised in her youth, it becomes obligatory for her to be circumcised in adulthood, according to them. However, the more preponderant opinion is that circumcision is a Sunnah for women, not an obligation.
