Which special cases of infant circumcision do not override Shabbat?
Synopsis
Several categories of circumcision do not override Shabbat because of doubt about the infant's status: hermaphrodite (androginus), born at twilight (bein hashmashot), born already circumcised, born via Caesarean section, born to a non-Jewish woman who converted after birth, and one with two foreskins.
