| - | Islam teaches that [[Fitra|everyone is Muslim at birth]] because every child that is born has a natural inclination to goodness and to worship the one true God alone, but the parents or society can cause them to deviate from the straight path. When someone accepts Islam, they are considered to revert to the original condition. In Islam, [[Khitan (circumcision)|circumcision]] is a ''[[Sunnah]]'' custom not mentioned in the Qur'an. The majority clerical opinion holds that circumcision is not a condition for entering Islam. The [[Shafi`i]] and [[Hanbali]] schools regard it as [[fard|obligatory]], while the [[Maliki]] and [[Hanafi]] schools regard it as only recommended. However, it is not a precondition for the acceptance of a person's Islamic practices, nor is choosing to forgo circumcision considered a sin. It is not one of the Five Pillars of Islam. | + | |
