Bedieved if circumcised prior to 8th day:[1]

Some Poskim[2] rule that if the child was circumcised during the daytime prior to the eighth day then Bedieved he fulfills his obligation. Nevertheless, Hatafas Dam Bris must be repeated after the morning of the eighth day.[3] [Some Poskim[4] rule that in truth, according to this opinion, even Hatafas Dam Bris is not required to be performed as Bedieved one does fulfill his obligation with a pre eighth day circumcision. Accordingly, the Hatafas Dam Bris may not be done on Shabbos and a blessing may not be recited over it. However, other Poskim[5] rule that one does not fulfill his obligation with a prior to eighth day circumcision, and hence the Hatafas Dam Bris is required [although even in his opinion, may not be done on Shabbos[6]].[7] Practically, one is to suspect for both opinions, and hence although the Hatafas Dam Bris must be performed, nonetheless it is not to be done on Shabbos, and is not to be performed with a blessing.[8]]
