Credit for Mitzvah of Brit Milah
Question
Who gets credit for the mitzvah of circumcision? Does a man who goes through his life after having been circumcised as an infant get credit for the mitzvah of being circumcised? Or is it just his parents who made the effort to have him circumcised? I am asking because I never had a son and therefore never had to opportunity to circumcise one.
Answers
Everyone received merits for the Brit Milah. The parents of the child who is circumcised get merits, the Mohel gets merits, the Sandek gets merits and, of course, the child, himself, gets ,merits.
