Brother can you please tell us why you "simply don't agree with" with the Shafi'i opinion of circumcision? Is your disagreement based upon Qur'an and Sunnah and not on your own aql and nafs?

I would highly recommend you to speak to some Shafi'i ulama and clarify your doubts before making such a change. If doubts persist, then speak to Maliki ulama.

As far as I am aware and the school of Imam Malik agrees there is no basis for it in Qur'an, and as such it is only regarded as Sunnah in the Maliki madhab, yet compulsory in the Shafi'i madhab.

Also, on a personal note I find it barbaric. However the point of this thread is not to discuss circumcision and I won't further. I am merely looking to know if in the opinion of those reading this thread I have legitimate reasons for changing madhab. One further point however, it should be noted that circumcision is not my only problem with the Shafi'i madhab.
