@kakaballi

Thanks.

Now this question is more of philosophical one I am asking just because I have been asked this question but do not have enough knowledge to answer properly.

We have been told that God says that He created man “in best form”, “in best image”, “best of all living things”, etc.

Now if foreskin is bad, why did God create it for ALL men? Some men are good, some are bad, some are saints and some are evil. That’s human nature and can be accepted that God created a balance. But a piece of skin that is supposedly bad for all humans?

Also, for a long time in Human history, men did not have tools to get rid of foreskin. Were they all doomed to bad health and diseases because of that?

i will try to answer but i am not sure if that will be sufficient answer.
As mentioned in hadees circumcision is for taharat.as we are ordered to remove bodily hairs we are also asked to remove foreskin.while removing bodily hairs is must for prayers but not same with foreskin.removing foreskin is not farz but circumcision is sunnah which is practiced by all muslims.
BTW few men are born without foreskin.. Aposthia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
