Question

Is Laser Circumcision Halal?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykumwa-rahmatullāhiwa-barakātuh.

Laser circumcision is a surgical procedure which entails the removal of the excess foreskin by a laser beam. [1]This process entails minimal bleeding and trauma much lesser than conventional circumcision procedures.[2]

Laser circumcision surgery is permissible.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
