Khitan (circumcision)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Khitān (Arabic: ختان‎) or Khatna (Arabic: ختنة‎) is the term for male circumcision carried out as an Islamic rite. It is also referred to by the term Taharah, 'purity'. Ritual circumcision is not mandated by the Qur'an, but serves to introduce males into the Islamic faith, and works as a sign of belonging to the wider Islamic community.[1] Islamic circumcision has as its closest counterpart, Jewish circumcision (Brit milah), however there are a number of key differences. Muslims are currently the largest single religious group to practice widespread circumcision.[1] However, it is not a condition for converting to Islam or carrying out religious duties.[2][3][4]
