When one is shaving the pubic hair, does one start directly below the belly button/navel or a bit below leaving space?
How much space should on leave?

Is there a reason behind leaving a space from the belly button?




Does one have to shave the hind?



Bismillah

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


The area immediately under the navel is not to be shaven. The area of shaving for a person (male / female) is above and around the private parts. If possible, it is commendable to shave around the hind private parts as well. (Al-Kaamil, commentary of Muslim; Imaam Nawawi vol. 1 pg. 128).
