“…From Islamic perspective, there is an acceptable condition for abortion due to medical indication and gestational age appropriate for abortion. Most Islamic ulama agree if valid reason is applicable for abortion before appropriate gestational age [8][9][10]. Contraception use is associated with several demographic factors, as stated in one of the studies in Korea [11].…”

“…The forum also claimed that the scratching or cutting of the clitoris tips (prepuce) does not fall in the category of female genital mutilation as acknowledged by the WHO. Many Muslim families in particular regions in Indonesia firmly believe in the MUI, and are more likely to follow their fatwa, especially those adhering to Imam Syafi'i's preachings (Clarence-Smith 2012;MUI 2013;Budiharsana 2017;Raghavan and Levine 2012;Feillard and Marcoes 1998).…”

This study explores the existing practice of female circumcision among the ethnic Madurese in the East Java province of Indonesia. The practice has long been believed to be part of the Islamization process as well as protecting the cultural traditions of the ethnic society in Madura. This study aimed to investigate two major issues: the prevalence of female circumcision in three districts on Madura Island, using a quantitative survey; and the cultural construction of female sexuality, using a qualitative method focused on observations and in-depth interviews with women, community leaders, and religious teachers. The findings of this study show that a greater number of females have been circumcised from as early as infants (under the age of one) to those in adolescence. The traditional views on the female body and sexuality have strongly influenced the continuity of the cultural practice. Moreover, observational analysis showed that Madurese society continues to believe that women who identify as Muslims are required to be circumcised. Women who are not circumcised are considered to have betrayed their religious, ethnic, and cultural identities. Furthermore, women cannot refuse or ask not to be circumcised, as many traditional families and religious leaders believe that the practice is required to purify the woman's body and her sexuality.
