Where should one start shaving pubic hair and should a space be left below the belly button?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftisays.com
Salaams

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?

Answer
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).
