1ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فِي الرَّجُلِ يُسْلِمُ فَيُرِيدُ أَنْ يَحُجَّ وَقَدْ حَضَرَ الْحَجُّ أَ يَحُجُّ أَوْ يَخْتَتِنُ قَالَ لا يَحُجُّ حَتَّى يَخْتَتِنَ.

1. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan from Ibrahim ibn Maymun who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s), about a man who becomes a Muslim and wants to perform al-Hajj and it is time for al-Hajj, if he performs al-Hajj or circumcision. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must not perform al-Hajj until he is circumcised.”’

2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ لا بَأْسَ أَنْ تَطُوفَ الْمَرْأَةُ غَيْرَ الْمَخْفُوضَةِ فَأَمَّا الرَّجُلُ فَلا يَطُوفُ إِلاَّ وَهُوَ مُخْتَتِنٌ.

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s), has said, ‘It is not harmful if a woman who is not Makhfudah (circumcised) performs Tawaf, but a man must not perform Tawaf until he is circumcised.’”
