A son cleaning his incapacitated 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 who is unable to clean himself. Is it permissible for me to clean him, wash him, and shave his pubic hair?

Answer:
Yes, if... May Allah reward you with good. But we should place a covering over his private parts. It should be over his private parts. Also on your hand, there should be a bag or... or soft underwear. You do what serves you. Shaving. From cleaning and removing impurity and shaving the pubic hair. If you are compelled to, because shaving the pubic hair is not possible except with sight, then you look and shave the pubic hair. Yes.
