Answer:
It is Mustahabb (commendable) for females to circumcise. It is narrated in
an authentic Hadith quoted from Abu Dawood Shareef that during the Prophet
(Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam)’s time there was a woman in Madinah who used
to perform circumcision for women (Fathul Bari vol. 16 p. 353)
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
