Is it permissible to shave the pubic hair of a deceased man during his washing, or should it be left?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q 2: Is it permissible to shave the pubic hair of a deceased man during his washing or should it be left?
A 2: If the deceased needs to have removed what is prescribed to be removed from
the hair and nails; because they are long and disfigure him, then they are removed as is prescribed for the living, except if he died in a state of ihram; because that is among the characteristics of fitrah. As for shaving the pubic hair and circumcision, it is not prescribed to do them after death.
