Se’if 1א׳

אֵין מָלִין עַד שֶׁתָּנֵץ הַחַמָּה בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁמִינִי לְלֵדָתוֹ. וּמִשֶּׁעָלָה עַמּוּד הַשַּׁחַר יָצָא. (בֵּית יוֹסֵף מִמִּשְׁנָה פ"ב דִּמְגִלָּה). וְכָל הַיּוֹם כָּשֵׁר לְמִילָה, אֶלָּא שֶׁזְּרִיזִין מַקְדִּימִים לְמִצְוֹת וּמָלִין מִיָּד בַּבֹּקֶר. וַאֲפִלּוּ מִילָה שֶׁלֹּא בִּזְמַנָּהּ אֵינָהּ אֶלָּא בַּיּוֹם. הַגָּה: עָבַר וּמָל בַּלַּיְלָה, צָרִיךְ לַחֲזֹר וּלְהַטִּיף מִמֶּנּוּ דַּם בְּרִית. (בֵּית יוֹסֵף מִמִּשְׁנָה שָׁם וְהַגָּה' מיי'). מָלוֹ תּוֹךְ ח' וּבַיּוֹם, יָצָא. (הָרֹא"שׁ בְּפ' ר"א דְּמִילָה ושכ"נ מִתְּשׁוּבַת הָרַשְׁבָּ"א). וְעַיֵּן לְקַמָּן סִימָן רס"ד.

One does not circumcise until the sun rises on the eighth day from his birth; and if he circumcised once the dawn had come up, he has fulfilled the obligation (Beit Yosef, from the Mishnah, chapter 2 of Megillah). And the whole day long is fit for circumcision, save that the zealous are early for the commandments and circumcise at once in the morning. And even a circumcision that is not in its proper time is only by day. Hagah [Rema]: If he transgressed and circumcised at night, he must go back and let from him a drop of the blood of the covenant (Beit Yosef, from the Mishnah there, and Hagahot Maimoni). If he circumcised him within the eight days and by day, he has fulfilled the obligation (the Rosh, chapter "Rabbi Eliezer of circumcision", and so it appears from a responsum of the Rashba). And see below, siman 264.

Se’if 2ב׳

חוֹלֶה אֵין מָלִין אוֹתוֹ עַד שֶׁיַּבְרִיא, וּמַמְתִּינִים לוֹ מֵעֵת שֶׁנִּתְרַפֵּא מֵחָלְיוֹ שִׁבְעָה יָמִים מֵעֵת לְעֵת, וְאָז מָלִין אוֹתוֹ. בַּמֶּה דְּבָרִים אֲמוּרִים, שֶׁחֲלַצְתּוֹ חַמָּה וְכַיּוֹצֵא בוֹ, שֶׁהוּא חֹלִי שֶׁבְּכָל הַגּוּף, אֲבָל אִם חָלָה בְּאֶחָד מֵאֵבָרָיו, כְּגוֹן שֶׁכָּאֲבוּ לוֹ עֵינָיו כְּאֵב מוּעָט וְכַיּוֹצֵא בָּזֶה, מַמְתִּינִים לוֹ עַד שֶׁיַּבְרִיא, וּלְאַחַר שֶׁיַּבְרִיא, מָלִין אוֹתוֹ מִיָּד. אֲבָל כָּאֲבוּ לוֹ עֵינָיו כְּאֵב גָּדוֹל, הָוֵי כְּחֹלִי שֶׁבְּכָל הַגּוּף. (נ"י פ' הֶעָרֵל).

One who is sick is not circumcised until he recovers; and they wait for him, from the time that he was healed of his illness, seven days, from moment to moment, and then they circumcise him. In what case are these words said? Where fever has seized him and the like, which is an illness in the whole body; but if he was sick in one of his limbs, such as where his eyes pained him with a slight pain and the like, they wait for him until he recovers, and after he recovers they circumcise him at once. But if his eyes pained him with a great pain, it is as an illness in the whole body (Nimukei Yosef, chapter "The uncircumcised man").

Se’if 3ג׳

אַנְדְּרוֹגִינוּס וּמִי שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ שְׁתֵּי עָרְלוֹת וְיוֹצֵא דֹּפֶן, נִמּוֹלִים לִשְׁמוֹנָה.

An androgynous person, someone with two foreskins, and someone born of a C-section are circumcised on the eighth [day].

Se’if 4ד׳

נוֹלַד בֵּין הַשְּׁמָשׁוֹת, מוֹנִים לוֹ מֵהַלַּיְלָה, וְנִמּוֹל לַתְּשִׁיעִי, שֶׁהוּא סְפֵק שְׁמִינִי. וְאִם הוֹצִיא רֹאשׁוֹ חוּץ לַפְּרוֹזְדוֹר מִבְּעוֹד יוֹם, אוֹ שֶׁשָּׁמְעוּ אוֹתוֹ בּוֹכֶה, אֲפִלּוּ נוֹלַד אַחַר כַּמָּה יָמִים, מוֹנֶה לוֹ ח' יָמִים מִיּוֹם שֶׁיָּצָא רֹאשׁוֹ, אוֹ מִיּוֹם שֶׁשָּׁמְעוּ אוֹתוֹ בּוֹכֶה. הַגָּה: וְיֵשׁ אוֹמְרִים דַּוְקָא בִּסְתָם, אֲבָל אִם אִמּוֹ אוֹמֶרֶת דְּהַתִּינוֹק הָיָה מֻנָּח בְּבִטְנָהּ כְּמוֹ בִּשְׁאָר פְּעָמִים, וְלֹא הָיָה לָהּ חֶבְלֵי לֵדָה כְּלָל, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁשָּׁמְעוּ בּוֹכֶה מוֹנִין לוֹ מִיּוֹם הַלֵּדָה, דְּאַף עַל גַּב דְּלֹא שָׁכִיחַ שֶׁיִּבְכֶּה בְּלֹא הוֹצָאַת הָרֹאשׁ חוּץ לַפְּרוֹזְדוֹר, מִכָּל מָקוֹם הָאֵם נֶאֱמֶנֶת לוֹמַר שֶׁהָיָה מֻנָּח כְּמוֹ בִּשְׁאָר פְּעָמִים וּבָכָה, (בְּאוֹר זָרוּעַ בְּשֵׁם תְּשׁוּבַת רַבִּי יוֹאֵל הַלֵּוִי וְהוּא במהרי"ו סי' כ"ה).

If he was born at twilight, they count for him from the night, and he is circumcised on the ninth, which is a doubtful eighth. And if he put his head out beyond the prozdor (the passage of the womb) while it was still day, or they heard him crying, even if he was born several days afterwards, one counts eight days for him from the day his head came out, or from the day that they heard him crying. Hagah [Rema]: And there are those who say: specifically in an unspecified case; but if his mother says that the baby was lying in her womb as at other times, and she had no pains of labour at all, even though they heard him crying they count for him from the day of the birth. For although it is not common that he should cry without the head coming out beyond the prozdor, nevertheless the mother is believed to say that he was lying as at other times and cried (in Or Zarua, in the name of a responsum of Rabbi Yoel haLevi, and it is in Maharyu, siman 25).

Se’if 5ה׳

אִם נוֹלַד כְּשֶׁהָיוּ נִרְאִים בָּרָקִיעַ כּוֹכָבִים קְטַנִּים מְאֹד, יֵשׁ לִסְמֹךְ עַל הַכּוֹכָבִים לְסָפֵק לָמוּל לְמָחֳרָת, כֵּיוָן שֶׁלֹּא הָיָה לֹא שַׁבָּת וְלֹא יוֹם טוֹב, וְאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהָיָה הָרָקִיעַ מַזְהִיר כְּעֵין אוֹרָהּ שֶׁל יוֹם.

If he was born when very small stars were visible in the sky, one may rely on the stars, as a doubt, to circumcise on the day after, since it was neither the Sabbath nor a festival day; and even though the sky was shining like the light of day.
