Circumcision

From Bahai9
Jump to:navigation, search

Circumcision has nothing to do with the Bahá'í Teachings[edit]

"The beloved Guardian says that the question of circumcision has nothing to do with the Bahá'í Teachings; and the believers are free to do as they please in the matter."

(From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, March 27, 1954: Ibid., in Lights of Guidance, no. 981)

Not enjoined on the believers[edit]

"Also with regard to the practice of circumcision; the Teachings bear no reference to this matter, and it is therefore not enjoined upon the believers."

(On behalf of Shoghi Effendi, Dawn of a New Day, p. 86)
