When removing the pubic hairs exactly what must be removed?
Question
Only below the navel or on the private part also?
Answer
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).

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
