Answered by 

Shaykh Muhammad Ashraf

Question:

Respected Mufti Saheb
Assalamualaikum Wa rahmatullahi Wa barakatuhu
 
Is there any evidence from history that our Prophet SAW was ever circumcised?
 
Wassalaam

Answer:

 

Majority of the Ulamaa are of the opinion that Rasoolullah (S.A.W.) was born circumcised. They substantiate their view with a Hadith of Nabi (S.A.W.), “From the favours bestowed unto me by my Sustainer, is that I was born circumcised, in a happy state. And no soul has seen my modesty (private parts).”
