Is there a sin upon her or upon me for not reminding my elderly, illiterate mother to shave her pubic hair before she went to Hajj?

Shaving the pubic hair is a recommended act (mustahabb), not an obligatory one (), when entering into for Hajj or . It is not considered a condition for their validity. It is recommended to cleanse oneself before ihram by removing excess hair, trimming the mustache, clipping the nails, and shaving the pubic hair. This is so that one is not preoccupied with doing so during ihram. Therefore, there is no sin in not alerting your mother to shave her pubic hair, and her Hajj is valid even if she omitted it.
