Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : As for shaving the pubic hair, as he (may Allah have mercy on him) said, it involves exposing the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered), and one may need to touch it. Therefore, it is better to leave it as it is. However, nowadays there are ointments that can be applied to the area without a person looking at it or touching it. So, do we say that in this case, the pubic hair is removed using this remover?
Answer : There is a possibility, because the ruling revolves around its 'illah (operative cause); if it exists, the ruling exists, and if it is absent, the ruling is absent. Yes.
