The victim of the cruel practice, which would prohibit the Mufti!
The Grand Mufti of Egypt said on Friday the 06/24/2007 the female circumcision for "haram" said after a girl has died following a circumcision operation in a private practice.
The 11-year-old girl Boudour Ahmad Shaker died on Thursday from an overdose of anesthetic. The doctors' union has launched an investigation, the doctor may have to pay a civil penalty of up to 2 years.
female circumcision is illegal in Egypt, but is this "custom" is widespread in the Arab country, both among the Muslims as also among the Christians, and in Sudan, Somalia, Djibouti and Ethiopia practiced it, because people there see it as a means to protect the chastity of women.
A study by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) revealed that 97% of women in Egypt 15-45 were subjected to such an operation, usually by a woman or elderly relatives.
No prominent Islamic jurist has so far banned female genital mutilation (declared haram), but the Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar University Muhammad Sayyid Tantawi declared them un-Islamic and urged that a competent physician should make the decision for surgery. The Grand Sheikh of Al Azhar and the Coptic Pope Shenouda III . have previously said , is that neither the Bible nor the Quran is a bid for the female circumcision.
