أَنَّهُ رُوِيَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِينَ ( عليهما السلام ) أَنِ اخْتِنُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ يَوْمَ السَّابِعِ يَطَّهَّرُوا وَ إِنَّ الْأَرْضَ تَضِجُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ بَوْلِ الْأَغْلَفِ وَ لَيْسَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ لِحَجَّامِي بَلَدِنَا حِذْقٌ بِذَلِكَ وَ لَا يَخْتِنُونَهُ يَوْمَ السَّابِعِ وَ عِنْدَنَا حَجَّامُ الْيَهُودِ فَهَلْ يَجُوزُ لِلْيَهُودِ أَنْ يَخْتِنُوا أَوْلَادَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَمْ لَا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَوَقَّعَ ( عليه السلام ) السُّنَّةُ يَوْمَ السَّابِعِ فَلَا تُخَالِفُوا السُّنَنَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya and Muhammad Bin Abdullah, (It has been narrated) from Abdullah son of Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> who wrote to Abu Muhammad<sup>asws</sup> that it has been reported from the two truthful ones (5<sup>th</sup> and 6<sup>th</sup> Imams<sup>asws</sup>) that: ‘Circumcise your children on the seventh day purifying them, and that the earth resounds with noise to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> from the urine of the uncircumcised; and there are no surgeons in our city skillful with that, and they (the people) are not circumcising on the seventh day, and among us is a Jewish surgeon, so is it allowed for the Jew that he circumcises the children of the Muslims or not, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Willing?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> signed: ‘The Sunnah is on the seventh day, therefore you should not oppose the Sunnah, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Willing’.
