Question # : 362

India

As Salamu alaikum wa Rahmatulaahi wa Barakaatuhu

Is it permitted to do Khatna (circumcision) of children as medically? Since the medical doctors use something that get heated with the help of electric current and with its help cut the khatna skin. I have heard that it is not permitted to do so as it works on fire.

Kindly answer!

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 494/J)

Circumcising with electronically heated tool is allowed, there is nothing wrong. In Arab, people used to get treatment by cauterization; the Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) has allowed it.

Allah knows Best!

I have heard that fictional stories are permissible to read and write, but I wasn?t sure under which circumstances. Now, I've noticed, that many youth are writing fiction. Some stories I've noticed contain haram love, killing and fabricating creatures and worlds. I?ve been writing but this question has been bugging me for a very long time. So I wanted to go into detail a bit about fiction writing Are these permissible? 1. Is fabricating worlds, lands (i.e such as the lands of Middle Earth by Tolkien or Narnia by Lewis.) and creatures permissible? 2. Having bloodshed (including against non-existent creatures). 3. In detail describing characters of the opposite gender (a male writer describing the complexion and characteristics of a female character, or a female writer describing a male character). 4. Unlawful situations taking place (an obvious one is kissing, but how about a character killing in rage?) does it make the story unlawful to write? 5. Finally, what if the story ends up with a message, or situations the character(s) go through which teaches or shows a person right from wrong (Including the above four) Considering these factors, is writing still permissible?
