Question: Pubic hair.
A.W.W.
For clarification, is it permissible for men to use a electric shaver to cut pubic hair. The use of a razor blade causes great discomfort.

Bismillah

Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah's guidance)


It is confirmed that The Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "Five are among the Fitrah acts: Circumcision, shaving pubic hair, plucking out armpit hair, clipping one's nails and trimming one's moustache." [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]

It is therefore, permissible to use electronic shavers to remove unwanted hair.


And Only Allah Ta'ala Knows Best.
