At what point do we say L’hachniso at a Bris, before the Chituch or after?

 

Question:

In Eretz Yisroel the predominant Minhag is that everyone says Shehecheyanu by the Bris and that L’hachniso is said before the Chituch regardless if they are Ashkenazi or Sephardi. If an Israeli Ashkenazi moves from Eretz Yisroel, do they still follow this Minhag with Shehechyanu and L’hachniso or do they follow the predominant Ashkenazi Minhag of L’hachniso after Chituch but before Periah and no Shehecheyanu?

 

Answer:

They should follow the Ashkenazi Minhag.
