The Ruling on a Son Cleaning His Elderly Father and Shaving His Pubic Hair
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, my father is an old man and is unable to clean himself. Is it permissible for me to clean him, wash him, and shave his pubic hair?
Answer:
Yes, may Allah reward you with good. But you should place a screen over his 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered), and you should insert your hand while wearing a soft glove or a soft cloth on your hand. You should do what is necessary for your father's 'awrah, such as istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself), removing impurities, and shaving the pubic hair. If you are compelled to do so because shaving the pubic hair is not possible without seeing it, you should cover the penis and then shave the pubic hair. Yes.
