Question

There are lot convolutions on the private part due to twice and improper circumcision. Even after washing there will be a lot of impurities inside these convolutions and holes in the skin. What the ruling for cleaning or one should go for plastic surgery. Please advise.

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Cases like yours’ occur when one’s circumcision was not done appropriately. Therefore we recommend you to consult a doctor or sexologist and discuss the issue with him.

When cleaning the private part special care should be taken that all impurities should be removed.

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
