Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad,
is His Slave and Messenger.
If the woman is unable toclean herself and remove her pubic hair, then
the basic principle is that another woman, from her relatives or
otherwise, should do thatfor her. It is not permissible for a man even
from among her Mahrams to do that. If there is no woman, then it is
permissible for one of her Mahram males to clean her, remove her pubic
hair and the like, but he should be careful not to look at or touch
her private parts as long as there is no necessity todo that. So, he
can wear thick gloves or the like toavoid touching her private parts.
On the other hand, if the sick or insane woman becomes pregnant, or
that the wife of the sick or insane man becomes pregnant, then it is
not permissible to terminate her pregnancy unless it isproved that
continuing the pregnancy will cause danger to the life of the mother
and thus it will be permissible to abort it.
Allaah Knows best.
