So I am in a fiqh group where female circumcision is being discussed(without the input of women, as usual) and I am genuinely flabbergasted about the lack of knowledge regarding biology and the utter taqlid of fiqh books.

CW: Might be a little explicit.
The brother(who I am told is a Shaykh) is defending the ruling of female circumcision and is stating that totally removing the clitoris doesn't necessarily deprive the woman of orgasm.

I can only face-palm at this kind of ignorance.
Scholars aren't always informed about every single detail of our "realities". And this discussion just reinforces that notion.

FYI for plebs. A woman having her clitoris removed completely is like a man having the tip of his dick hacked off.

Can't believe this is even a debate.
FGM is a serious issue in many communities. And many Somalian brothers and their relatives have repeatedly informed people about how destructive this practice is.

Anyway, the Sunnah relates to removing the hood. Not the entire clitoris itself.
Shuyukh and Tullab going overboard over this issue with their outdated fiqh rulings need to attend biology classes.
