A maid shaving the pubic hair of a child with autism

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says that she is the mother of a sick child who has autism, and the doctors have assessed his intellect as that of a two-year-old child. May Allah honor you, his pubic hair has grown. Her question is: Is it permissible for me to have a maid care for him when he goes to the bathroom, shave his pubic hair, and help me with this, knowing that his father has passed away?

Answer:
No, do not let a non-mahram woman look at his 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) or touch it. This is your responsibility, and seek reward from Allah for it.
