Is it permissible for the wife to shave her husband's pubic hair and vice versa?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Each spouse may enjoy the other's private parts by touching, intercourse, and looking, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Guard your 'awrah except from your wife or what your right hand possesses." Therefore, there is no religious impediment for one spouse to shave the pubic hair of the other.
