Q 2: Should the pubic hair of a deceased person be shaved when washing them or should it be left?


A: If there is anything that need to be removed from a deceased person according to Shari`ah (Islamic law), (Part No. 7; Page No. 250) such as his hair or nails whose length deforms him, they are to be removed in the same way as it is permissible for the living, except for those who meet their death while in the state of Ihram (ritual state for Hajj or `Umrah). This is part of Sunan-ul-Fitrah (natural hygiene). As for shaving the pubic hair and circumcision, they are not permitted to be done after death.
