What is the purpose of FGM?

Wait, so it isn't good to see me back? Lol

During the exile I've been bored, I couldn't troll like I used to :icon e sad:
I lowkey missed you ngl. I loved clowning you but be on your best behavior. You are considered my son on here and I don't want people complaining to me about you again.

One of the many issues with the hadiths. So many contradictory hadiths and this is where most of the problematic issues with the deen come from.
What does it say? In the hadiths. From what I’ve been taught it’s not haram for both women and men to seek pleasure from each other in a halal marriage so I don’t understand. In fact isn’t it encouraged?

This is where it depends on the school of thought like I said. For the Shafi'i the type of circumcision is obligatory to perform it and it is done in a way to curb the female's enjoyment during sex. However, the hanifi school see it differently as they perform the circumcision in a way that pardon my crude language exposes the C-word which can either cause it to be extremely sensitive or painful depending on the women. To them, this enhances the pleasure during sex but to others exposing the nerves like that can be painful after a while. As most of Somalia and the horn practice Shafi'i madhab we, unfortunately, got the short end of the stick when it comes to FGM.

Yep. generation of generations of women suffering from this backward practice. Our own mothers and grandmothers and even to this day, it is still done. Although with the campaigning done by our Somali sisters it is being phased out slowly but surely.
FGM is mustahab so it isn't wajib.

not for Shafi'i as they take into account urf or the idea that local customs plays a part therefore with it being mustahabb for them they heavily encourage it. That's why it is rife in areas where this madhab is promoted. Thats why I said only for the Shafi'i madhab as the rest it is just seen as mustahab.

It’s very sad. is it mentioned anywhere in Islam? im not sure.

Bro this dude ain’t even Muslim, he’s lying there’s nothing Islamic about FGM. This is an african practice. If it was ever mentioned them wahhabis would’ve been everywhere promoting it but it’s nowhere in the Arab world

Well a man came up with the idea and you lot just ran with it for centuries. I don’t blame women practicing it because of patriarchy, women are 2nd class in our society anyway they just follow orders.

The four schools of Islamic law have different opinions and attitudes towards circumcision:[1] some state that it's recommendable,[2] others that it's permissible but not binding,[2] while others regard it as a legal obligation.[2][26] Amongst Ulema (Muslim legal scholars), there are differing opinions about the compulsory or non-obligatory status of circumcision in accordance with Sharia (Islamic law).[4][2] Imams Abū Ḥanīfa, founder of the Hanafi school of Islamic jurisprudence, and Malik ibn Anas, founder of the Maliki school, maintain that circumcision is a Sunnah Mu'akkadah—not obligatory but highly recommended. The Shafi‘i and Hanbali schools regard it as binding on all Muslims, both males and females.[1][2] According to Shafi‘i and Hanbali jurists both male and female circumcision are legally obligatory for Muslims,[1][2] while Hanafi jurists consider circumcision to be recommendable exclusively for Muslim males on the seventh day after birth.[2] The Salafi[27] website IslamQA.info, founded by the Saudi Arabian Salafi scholar Muhammad Al-Munajjid, has quoted some hadith to argue that the requirement of circumcision in Islam is based on the covenant with Abraham, that male circumcision is obligatory for Muslim men in order to provide ritual cleanliness while the purpose of female circumcision for Muslim women is to "regulate" and reduce their sexual desires.[26]

It's usually somali women who support this practice men generally are against it but can't interfere in women culture or xeer practice
