Hadith.4725 - Abdullah ibn Ja'far al-Himyari wrote to Imam Abu Muhammad Al-Hasan ibn Ali (as), saying: "It has been narrated from the Righteous Ones (peace be upon them) that they said
'Circumcise your children on the seventh day so they may be purified, for the earth complains to Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, about the urine of the uncircumcised.' May Allah make me your ransom, but the barbers in our region are not skilled in this, and they do not circumcise on the seventh day. However, we have a barber who is a Jew. Is it permissible for the Jews to circumcise Muslim children or not?" Imam (as) replied: "On the seventh day - do not oppose the Sunnah, God willing."
4725 - وَ - كَتَبَ عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ اَلْحِمْيَرِيُّ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : أَنَّهُ رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلصَّالِحِينَ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ "أَنِ اِخْتِنُوا أَوْلاَدَكُمْ يَوْمَ اَلسَّابِعِ يَطَّهَّرُوا فَإِنَّ اَلْأَرْضَ تَضِجُّ إِلَى اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ بَوْلِ اَلْأَغْلَفِ" وَ لَيْسَ جَعَلَنِيَ اَللَّهُ فِدَاكَ لِحَجَّامِي بَلَدِنَا حِذْقٌ بِذَلِكَ وَ لاَ يَخْتِنُونَهُ يَوْمَ اَلسَّابِعِ وَ عِنْدَنَا حَجَّامٌ مِنَ اَلْيَهُودِ فَهَلْ يَجُوزُ لِلْيَهُودِ أَنْ يَخْتِنُوا أَوْلاَدَ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ أَمْ لاَ فَوَقَّعَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "يَوْمَ اَلسَّابِعِ فَلاَ تُخَالِفُوا اَلسُّنَنَ إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ".
