slm

there is no such thing as "female circumcison" since females don't have a foreskin. What you are referring to is female genital mutilation, which is a cultural practice and nothing to do with Islam.

As salamu alaykum

Female circumcision is discussed in Reliance of the Travel, which follows the Shafi'i school of Islamic law.  It has been translated by Nuh Ha Mim Keller.  I have also seen a hadith.  You might want to check one of the hadith databases on the web.
