وَ رَوَى غِيَاثُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ لاَ تَخْتَتِنَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ فَأَمَّا اَلرَّجُلُ فَلاَ بُدَّ مِنْهُ".
Ghiyath ibn Ibrahim narrated from Ja'far ibn Muhammad from his father عليه السلام who said that Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلامsaid: "There is no harm if a woman is not circumcised, but as for a man, it is necessary for him."
