What is the proper method for shaving pubic hair for a 16-year-old, taking into consideration the potential harms of different shaving tools?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Shaving the pubic hair is among the practices of fitra (natural disposition). The prophetic hadiths did not specify a particular method for shaving, so it includes any suitable means for the person, such as shaving, plucking, or using depilatories. The intent is the cleanliness of the area. Shaving is preferable, and it is permissible to trim, pluck, or use nura (a depilatory substance). One can also seek a safe method that does not result in harm.
