הלכות שבתLaws of Shabbat· siman 331

Se’if 1א׳

עוֹשִׂים כָּל צָרְכֵי מִילָה בְּשַׁבָּת; מוֹהֲלִין וּפוֹרְעִין וּמוֹצְצִין, וְנוֹתְנִין עָלָיו כַּמּוֹן.

1. We perform all that is needed for circumcision on Shabbat, including circumcising, periah [pulling back the foreskin], metitza [sucking the blood], and putting cumin on it.

Se’if 2ב׳

כָּל זְמַן שֶׁלֹּא סִלֵּק יָדוֹ מִן הַמִּילָה חוֹזֵר אֲפִלּוּ עַל צִיצִין שֶׁאֵינָם מְעַכְּבִין; סִלֵּק יָדוֹ, אֵינוֹ חוֹזֵר אֶלָּא עַל צִיצִין הַמְעַכְּבִין. וְאֵלּוּ הֵם הַמְעַכְּבִין, בָּשָׂר הַחוֹפֶה אֲפִלּוּ רֹב גֹּבַהּ שֶׁל עֲטָרָה בְּמָקוֹם א'.

2. As long as he has not removed his hand from circumcising, he is permitted to return, even for the shreds that do not prevent the circumcision from being valid. After he has removed his hand, he can only return for the shreds that would invalidate the circumcision. These invalidate it: flesh that covers the majority of the height of the crown of the penis's height, even if only in one place.

Se’if 3ג׳

בֶּן ח', אִם גָּמְרוּ שְׂעָרוֹ וְצִפָּרְנָיו, מָלִין אוֹתוֹ בְּשַׁבָּת; וְאִם לֹא גָּמְרוּ, אֲפִלּוּ אִם הוּא סָפֵק בֶּן ז' סָפֵק בֶּן ח', אֵין מָלִין אוֹתוֹ. וְאֵין צָרִיךְ לוֹמַר בֶּן ח' וַדַּאי. וְאִם הוּא בֶּן שֶׁבַע וַדַּאי, אֲפִלּוּ לֹא גָּמְרוּ שְׂעָרוֹ וְצִפָּרְנָיו מָלִין אוֹתוֹ וְעַיֵּן בְּיוֹרֵה דֵּעָה סי' רס"ו.

3. If he is eight days old, if his hair and nails have grown, we circumcise him on Shabbat, and if they have not grown, even if he may be a seven-month infant and may be an eight-month infant, we do not circumcise him on Shabbat. It's obvious that if he is definitely an eight-month infant, [we do not circumcise him on Shabbat]. If he is definitely a seven-month infant, even if he has not grown hair or nails, we circumcise him. (See Yoreh Deah Chapter 266.)
