Circumcision

Circumcision in a dream means purification, cleanliness, discard­ ing impurity, celebrations or happy reunions. If one sees himself being circum­ cised in a dream, it means that he did something good which God Almighty has accepted, and by its virtue, God Almighty has forgiven him his sins, or it may mean that he will undergo an operation to open his veins or to bleed them. If a young virgin girl sees herself being circumcised in a dream, it means either marriage, or encountering her first experience with her monthly period. Cir- cumcision in a dream also means undergoing an operation of removing one's testicles, undergoing a prostate operation, or it may mean clearing one's name from slander and accusations, or it may mean separation between husband, wife and children, or children leaving their parent's home, If one discovers that he is circumcised in a dream, it means that he will become an apostate and forsake his religion for monetary gains.

Circumcision is also part of the Fitrah. If a person dreams thathe is being circumcised, he will do good by means of which he willpurify himself from sin and be relieved of worry. 'Abd al-Rahmaanal-Washnaaqi, one of the judiciary officials of Qayrawaan, dreamt thathe was being circumcised. I said to him: It is said that circumcisionis purification, and he had been fired by some of the judges, so I said: You will go back to your post and you will be a judge. And that is whathappened. If he dreams that he is not circumcised, his wealth will increase buthis religious commitment will decrease.
