This act is abhorred by sound minds and pure instincts. Its ruling depends on the belief associated with it:
- If it is done without believing in its efficacy to make one spouse submissive to the other: There appears to be nothing that necessitates its prohibition.
- If it is done with the belief in its efficacy in that regard: Then it is forbidden, because there is no proof for this, neither in nor empirically. Believing in the causality of something that has not been proven to be a cause is forbidden, and some scholars may consider it a form of minor .
The advice is to abandon such practices.
