==Religious requirement==
Though absent in the KoranQur'an, male [[circumcision]] is considered a religious requirement in [[Islam]], and it is performed on male children of varying ages prior to [[puberty]]. Converts to this faith may also choose to undergo [[adult circumcision]], but it is not always required. Hossein Dabbagh (2022) questions the religious requirement for [[circumcision]] (''khitan'') in [[Islam]].<ref name="dabbagh2022">{{REFjournal |last=Dabbagh |first= |init=H |author-link= |etal=no |title=Is Circumcision “Necessary” in Islam?
