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
