This argument is often mobilised to discredit inconvenient hadith. | |||
Four of the seven hadith that touch upon FGM, report Muhammad favouring FGM. Two of these ('[[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#The fitrah is five things.2C including circumcision|The fitrah is five things]]' and '[[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#When the circumcised parts touch each other|When the circumcised parts touch]]') are included in both sahih Bukhari and sahih Muslim, the two hadith compilations that are considered wholly authoritative, and are also some of the best-supported hadith in these compilations. The two other hadith that report Muhammad's words concerning FGM ([[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#A preservation of honor for women|'A preservation of honour for women]]' and [[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#Do not cut .22severely.22|'Do not cut severely']]) are not generally considered as ''sahih'', but ''hasan'' (good) or ''daif'' (weak). | |||
Al-Bukhari also compiled te two adab ('[[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#Someone to Amuse Them|Someone to Amuse Them]]' and '[[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#Go and Circumcise Them and Purify Them|Go and Circumcise Them and Purify Them]]') which touch on FGM. Al-Bukhari's evaluation of the hadiths within ''al-Adab al-Mufrad'' was not as rigorous as for his best-known collection - ''[[Sahih Bukhari]]''. However, scholars have ruled most of the hadith in the collection as being ''sahih'' (authentic) or ''hasan'' (sound). | Al-Bukhari also compiled te two adab ('[[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#Someone to Amuse Them|Someone to Amuse Them]]' and '[[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#Go and Circumcise Them and Purify Them|Go and Circumcise Them and Purify Them]]') which touch on FGM.

A last hadith ('[[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#One Who Circumcises Other Ladies|One who circumcises other ladies]]') is also compiled by Bukhari. It is not of interest doctrinally, but historically, sociologically and linguistically (see '[[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#Islamic sources|FGM before Islam: Islamic sources]]'). | A last hadith ('[[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#One Who Circumcises Other Ladies|One who circumcises other ladies]]') is also compiled by Bukhari.

The fact that it is often done with respect to hadith in the two sahih compilations suggests it is often a reflexive defense. However, the two non-sahih hadith | |||
