Question 1913: How important is circumcision for men, and is it obligatory for a man who converts to Islam in adulthood to be circumcised?
✅ Answer: Please refer to the following narrations:
1⃣عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنِ الرِّضَا أَنَّهُ کَتَبَ إِلَی الْمَأْمُونِ وَ الْخِتَانُ سُنَّةٌ وَاجِبَةٌ لِلرِّجَالِ وَ مَکْرُمَةٌ لِلنِّسَاءِ.

📚 *Al-Kafi*, Vol. 4, p. 281

📚 *Qurb al-Isnad*, p. 47
Hanan bin Sadr said: 'I asked Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) about a Christian who converts to Islam, and the season of Hajj arrives before he has been circumcised. Should he perform Hajj before undergoing circumcision?' The Imam said: 'No! However, he should begin the practice (of circumcision)!'
7⃣عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ في حديث... إِنَّ الْأَرْضَ تَنْجَسُ مِنْ بَوْلِ الْأَغْلَفِ أَرْبَعِینَ صَبَاحاً.
📚 *Al-Kafi*, Vol. 6, p. 35
In a hadith, Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: 'The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'The earth becomes impure with the urine of an uncircumcised man for forty days!'
8⃣عَنْ عَلِیٍّ فِی حَدِیثِ الْأَرْبَعِمِائَةِ قَالَ: إِنَّ الْأَرْضَ لَتَضِجُّ إِلَی اللَّهِ تَعَالَی مِنْ بَوْلِ الْأَغْلَفِ.
📚 *Al-Khassal*, p. 619

9⃣عَنْ عَلِیٍّ قَالَ: الْأَغْلَفُ لَا یَؤُمُّ الْقَوْمَ وَ إِنْ کَانَ أَقْرَأَهُمْ لِأَنَّهُ ضَیَّعَ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ أَعْظَمَهَا وَ لَا تُقْبَلُ لَهُ شَهَادَةٌ وَ لَا یُصَلَّی عَلَیْهِ إِلَّا أَنْ یَکُونَ تَرَکَ ذَلِکَ خَوْفاً عَلَی نَفْسِهِ.
📚 *Al-Tahdhib*, Vol. 3, p. 30
Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him) said: 'A man who is not circumcised cannot lead the prayer of the people, even if he is the most knowledgeable among them, because he has neglected the most important of traditions. His testimony is also not accepted, and the funeral prayer for him should not be performed unless he abandoned this act out of fear for his life!'
✅ Not performing the funeral prayer for an uncircumcised man does not mean he should be buried without prayer.
✅ The importance of the obligatory tradition of circumcision in the above narrations and others is clear, and if someone converts to Islam in adulthood and is not circumcised, it is obligatory for him to undergo circumcision.
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْر
