Part III | What time of day should the brit take place?

The brit may be performed any time of the day until sunset. However, since it is preferable to fulfill a mitzvah as quickly as possible, it should better be done in the morning. One should, at least, not postpone a brit later than midday.
One should not use a less-qualified Mohel in order to have the brit take place earlier in the morning. Rather, he can delay the brit to later in the afternoon when a more-qualified Mohel will be available.
