Circumcision in the language: means cutting, and the call for that is called circumcision, and as for the term: it is the cutting of a specific part of a specific member, and it is the cutting of a skin from the male member until it appears, and the opinions of the jurists have varied in the ruling on circumcision for males and females.
Circumcision is the circumcision of the male foreskin, i.e. its removal. Local anesthesia or locally injected is often used to reduce pain and physiological stress. The procedure is usually an elective surgery performed on children and infants as a religious duty or cultural tradition, as is the case in Israel, the Islamic world, and a number of Christian denominations and communities; or as a preventative health intervention, as is practiced in many countries in the Anglosphere and Africa. Medically, circumcision is a treatment option for problematic cases of phimosis and balanitis that do not resolve with other therapies, and for chronic urinary tract infections. It is contraindicated in cases of some genital anomalies or poor general health.
Circumcised men are estimated to make up between 37-39% of the world's male population as of 2016. The procedure plays a central role in many cultures and religions. It is an integral part of Judaism and Samaritans and part of their religious legislation, while it is a well-established practice in Islam, the Druze faith and in a number of Christian denominations such as the Coptic Orthodox Church, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, the Eritrean Orthodox Church and many African Christian churches. Circumcision also played an important role in Christian history and theology; The circumcision of Jesus is celebrated as a feast in the liturgical calendar of many Christian denominations, while Paul of Tarsus' teaching that physical circumcision was not necessary for membership in the New Testament was instrumental in separating Christianity from Judaism. Although the main Christian denominations are neutral about circumcision as they do not require or prohibit their followers, as they do not require it as a religious obligation, but do not prohibit it for cultural or other reasons, male circumcision is widely practiced in many Christian countries and communities. Circumcision is most common among Muslims, Jews (for religious reasons), and members of the Coptic, Ethiopian, and Eritrean Orthodox Church of the Levant, and in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Korea, the United States, and parts of Southeast Asia and Africa. While it is relatively rare for non-religious reasons in Europe, Latin America, parts of South Africa, and most of Asia. Some religions such as Sikhism and Mandaeism do not require voluntary circumcision for their followers and are highly critical of the practice. The origin of circumcision is not known with certainty; The oldest documented evidence of this comes from ancient Egypt. Various theories have been proposed about the origin of the custom including as a religious sacrifice and as a rite of passage marking the boy's entry into adulthood.
