Is it permissible for a woman to shape a heart with pubic hair when shaving as adornment for her husband?

Removing pubic hair is a practice from the Sunan al-Fitra (practices of innate disposition). The time limit for its removal should not exceed forty nights. It is not permissible to leave the hair or style it, as doing so might exceed the specified period. Furthermore, that area is considered part of the awrah al-mughallazah (strict private parts) which may not be exposed except out of urgent need or necessity. It is not permissible to expose it for shaving merely for adornment.
