عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ بْنِ أُسَامَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الْخِتَانُ سُنَّةٌ لِلرِّجَالِ مَكْرُمَةٌ لِلنِّسَاءِ
Sayyiduna Abu Malih narrates from his father Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Circumcision is Sunnah for men and an honor for women.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … This narration is indeed weak, but keep in mind that due to circumcision (khitan), the sensation of pleasure is reduced, and this is precisely what is desired in our Shari‘ah: that pleasure should also be lessened while progeny is preserved. This is the path of moderation between excess and deficiency. Furthermore, due to circumcision, the act of intercourse is completed in a shorter time, and in this there is ease for the woman as well.
