Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It is better that circumcision (khitan) be performed at a young age. If, due to some excuse or lack of knowledge, or due to disbelief (kufr) and the like, circumcision could not be performed, then later, whenever and however it becomes possible, circumcision should be performed.
