The
following
are examples of cases,
even from people who have been completely
circumcised, where a drop of blood must be removed:
 |
A
person who is circumcised before the eighth day of his life
|
|
A
person who was sick and his circumcision should have been postponed
until he had been healthy for seven days, but it was not postponed.
|
|
A
person who was circumcised at night
|
|
A
person who was circumcised by a gentile
|
|
A person who was circumcised by someone who desecrates the Sabbath, or
by an uncircumcised Jew
|
|
When
a person was born circumcised (the mohel examines to ascertain
whether there is no foreskin whatsoever)
|
|
A
circumcised gentile who converts
|
|
A
person who was circumcised using a device known as a clamp (it
completely prevents the flow of blood at the site of the cut).
|
In
all these cases a drop of blood must be removed (a small scratch) by a
mohel, instead of the foreskin beneath the glands penis.
