Question

I was circumcised at 5. But I have a lot of foreskin remaining due to incomplete circumcision. Now I am 27 years old. Should I go for another circumcision to clear the remaining foreskin?

Answer

No. If most of it has been circumcised then you don't have to repeat this.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
