Question
Are women allowed to use a razor to remove pubic hair
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh
It is permissible for a female to shave the pubic hair with a razor blade. However it is Sunnah to pluck/tweeze the pubic hair.[1]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
