Two other hadith ([[ | Two other hadith ([[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox3#Someone to Amuse Them|Someone to Amuse Them]] and [[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox3#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 ([[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox3#The fitrah is five things|The fitrah is five things]], [[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox3#A preservation of honor for women|A preservation of honor for women]] and [[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox3#When the circumcised parts touch each other|When the circumcised parts touch each other]]) use the word 'khitan to refer to ''both'' FGM and Male Circumcision. | ||
Thus, the word '<nowiki/>''khitan'<nowiki/>'' appears to refer to both or either FGM and Male Circumcision. According to traditional interpretive methodology, {{Quran|30|30}} by requiring Muslims to ''<nowiki/>'adhere to the fitrah''' advocates FGM. | Thus, the word '<nowiki/>''khitan'<nowiki/>'' appears to refer to both or either FGM and Male Circumcision.
