Female genital cutting is “term used to refer to any practice which includes the removal or the alteration of the female genitalia.”:
Type I: This is the mildest form of FGC, which includes removing or splitting the prepuce (foreskin or ‘hood’) which covers the clitoris of females, thus exposing the glans. This may be couple with partial or total excision of the clitoris. This is known as clitoridotomy (slang: hoodectomy). According to the United Nations Population Fund, this form is comparable to male circumcision.[7] This is sometimes also called “sunna circumcision” due to the fact that it is this type which is performed commonly by those Muslims who believe it to be legislated in Islam.
Type Ia, removal of the clitoral hood or prepuce only; WHO refers to this type as "female circumcision".

Type Ib, removal of the clitoris with the prepuce.
Type II: In this type, known as clitoridectomy, the clitoris and labia minora is partially or totally removed.
Type III: This is one of the most extreme forms of FGC, involving the total excision of the clitoris, both the labia minora and majora, and the joining of the two sides of the vulva across the vagina, sewn with thread or secured with other items, until it heals joining together. Only a small, pencil-size hole is left to allow passage of menstrual blood and urine. This is known as infibulation or Pharaonic Circumcision, in reference to its origins.

Type IV: This type is inclusive of all other forms of genital cutting, such as: pricking, piercing or incision of the clitoris and/or labia; stretching of the clitoris and/or labia; cauterization by burning of the clitoris and surrounding tissue; introcision, scraping (angurya cuts) or cutting (gishri cuts) of the vagina or surrounding tissue; and introduction of corrosive substances or herbs into the vagina.
It is key to note, however, that it is only this first type which some of the scholars regarded as commendable
Islamically
This practice was accepted by some of the classical schools of law and is practiced today by some Muslims.
The basis in Islamic law is that it is not permissible to cause bodily harm and any such practice of female circumcision proven to be harmful would be unlawful.
Ubaida ibn As-Samit reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
لاَ ضَرَرَ وَلاَ ضِرَارَ
Do not cause harm or return harm.

There are a few weak traditions used to sanction the practice, but upon scrutiny we find that none of them are authentic.
Usama ibn Umair reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
الْخِتَانُ سُنَّةٌ لِلرِّجَالِ مَكْرُمَةٌ لِلنِّسَاءِ
Circumcision is a sunnah for men and honorable for women.
Source: Musnad Ahmad 20195, Grade: Da’eef (weak)
Umm Atiyyah reported: A woman used to perform circumcision in Medina and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
لَا تُنْهِكِي فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَحْظَى لِلْمَرْأَةِ وَأَحَبُّ إِلَى الْبَعْلِ
Do not cut severely, as it is better for the woman and more desirable for the husband.

Famous scholars of Islam based their fiqh on quran and "authentic" hadith.
Imam Abu Hanifah: “If a hadith is found to be authentic, then it is my madhab.”
’When I say something contradicting the Book of Allah the Exalted or what is narrated from the Messenger [IMG], then ignore my saying.’’
Imam Malik: “Everyone after the Prophet will have their statements accepted or rejected except the Prophet.”
Imam Shafi: “Every hadith of the Prophet is my position even if you did not hear it from me.”
Imam Ahmad: “If one rejects a hadith of the Messenger of Allah, they will be at the brink of destruction.”
However, if a scholar thinks of an evidence as true, and later the evidence was proved to be Daiif, then that's no longer his position as they explicitly stressed.
And Allah knows best.
