Is there any harm in shaving the pubic hair with a razor instead of trimming it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no harm in shaving the pubic hair with a razor; it is, in fact, the best method because shaving the pubic hair is unanimously recommended. The term "pubic hair" refers to the hair around the front and back private parts, and it is recommended to remove all of it. The best method according to the Sunnah is shaving with a razor, as it is cleaner. It can also be achieved by trimming, plucking, or using depilatory cream (nura). The ultimate goal is cleanliness.
