Boundaries of Pubic Hair for Shaving

Question

If shaving with scissors like a razor from the stomach down, when is it considered pubic hair?

Answer

Hello,

There is no precise boundary; it is not the same for every person.

Any hair that is part of the gathering of pubic hair is included in the prohibition of shaving.
