Two use ''khitan'' ([[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox2#Someone to Amuse Them|Someone to Amuse Them]] and [[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox2#Do not cut | Two use ''khitan'' ([[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox2#Someone to Amuse Them|Someone to Amuse Them]] and [[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox2#Do not cut severely|Do not cut severely]]) use the word ''khitan'' in contexts where the procedure is unquestionably being performed on females (and only on females). Three other hadith (The fitrah is five things, including circumcision, A preservation of honor for women and When the circumcised parts touch each other) use the word 'khitan to refer to ''both'' FGM and Male Circumcision. | ||
Thus, in the hadith the word '<nowiki/>''khitan'<nowiki/>'' refers to FGM, or to Male Circumcision, or to both. According to traditional interpretive methodology, {{Quran|30|30}} by requiring one to ''<nowiki/>'adhere to the fitrah''' indirectly, but ineluctably, advocates FGM. | Thus, in the hadith the word '<nowiki/>''khitan'<nowiki/>'' refers to FGM, or to Male Circumcision, or to both.

Hadith methodology dictates that if it is not mentioned specifically or if the pronouns do not point to a certain gender, then the hadith is valid for both sexes (either directly or by analogy, or ''qiyas'', in the case of women). Hence, the following hadith is applicable for both men and women.{{Quote|{{Bukhari|7|72|777}}; See also {{Muslim|2|495}}|Abu Hurayrah said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “The fitrah is five things – or '''five things are part of the fitrah – circumcision''', shaving the pubes, trimming the moustache, cutting the nails and plucking the armpit hairs.”}} | Hadith methodology dictates that if it is not mentioned specifically or if the pronouns do not point to a certain gender, then the hadith is valid for both sexes (either directly or by analogy, or ''qiyas'', in the case of women).
