سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ خِتَانِ الصَّبِيِّ لِسَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ هُوَ أَوْ يُؤَخَّرُ وَ أَيُّهُمَا أَفْضَلُ قَالَ لِسَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ وَ إِنْ أُخِّرَ فَلَا بَأْسَ .
Translation
And from him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Yaqteen, from his brother Al Husayn, from his father Ali Bin Yaqteen who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> about circumcising the child within seven days, is it from the Sunnah or can one delay it, and whichever of the two is preferable?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘For the seventh day is from the Sunnah, and if it is delayed, so there is no problem (expiation)’.
