The two other hadith that report Muhammad's attitude towards FGM ([[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#A preservation of honor for women|'A preservation of honour for women]]' and [[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#Do not cut .22severely.22|'Do not cut severely']]) are not generally considered as ''sahih'', but ''hasan'' (good) or ''daif'' (weak).

Al-Bukhari also compiled the two adab ('[[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#Someone to Amuse Them|Someone to Amuse Them]]' and '[[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#Go and Circumcise Them and Purify Them|Go and Circumcise Them and Purify Them]]') which touch on FGM. Al-Bukhari's evaluation of the hadiths within ''al-Adab al-Mufrad'' was not as rigorous as for his best-known collection - ''[[Sahih Bukhari]]''. However, scholars have ruled most of the hadith in the collection as being ''sahih'' or ''hasan''.

A seventh hadith ('[[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#One Who Circumcises Other Ladies|One who circumcises other ladies]]') is also compiled by Bukhari and is thus ''sahih.'' It is not of interest doctrinally, but contains useful historical, sociological and linguistic information (see '[[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#Islamic sources|FGM before Islam: Islamic sources]]').

Doctrine cannot be generated from a weak hadith alone. However Dr. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi (a central figure affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood)<ref>[https://www.terrorism-info.org.il/Data/pdf/PDF_11_046_2.pdf Portrait of Sheikh Dr. Yusuf Abdallah al-Qaradawi, senior Sunni Muslim cleric, affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood] - The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (2011)</ref> decrees that a weak hadith can be used if:     
So some of the FGM hadith are arguably weak. But weak hadiths do not cancel or weaken more reliable ones, and several sahih hadith favour FGM.   
 
Furthermore, whilst doctrine cannot be generated from a weak hadith alone, they can be used if:     


#the ''hadith'' not be very weak;
#the ''hadith'' not be very weak;
#the ''hadith'' be within the scope of an authentic legal principle that is applied and accepted in either the Qur’an or Sunnah;
#the ''hadith'' be within the scope of an authentic legal principle that is applied and accepted in either the Qur’an or Sunnah;
#its weakness, not authenticity, be realized when applying it.

For example the information that Muhammad considered a form of FGM excessively sever can be taken from 'Do not cut severely', even assuming it a daif hadith, since it is not in contradiction with the stronger FGM hadith and does not contradict the Qur'an.
