Why did Al-Albani authenticate the hadith of Umm Atiyyah: "Do not cut excessively, for that is better for the woman and more beloved to the husband," even though revelation ceased with the death of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and what is his evidence for authentication and weakening, and is this hadith befitting the modesty of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and what is the criterion for determining excessive cutting in the circumcision of a young girl, and was the profession of circumcision unacceptable before Islam, as evidenced by Hamza's call to Siba' ibn Abd al-Uzza: "O son of the circumciser of clitorises"?
It is not surprising that those who are not specialized in Hadith are ignorant of its rules. What is surprising is impugning the knowledge of scholars. The Prophet's modesty, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him, did not prevent him from teaching the Ummah matters of their religion. Indeed, he was asked about matters that are not shameful, such as the ghusl of a woman who has had a wet dream. The criterion in female circumcision is the experienced circumciser's ability to distinguish between the natural variations among females. Hamza's statement to Siba', "O son of Umm Anmar, the excisor of clitorises," was an insult to the addressed person, not to the act itself, and Arabs use this phrase for denigration.
