The answer

This act is objectionable and a baseless superstition. It is not permissible to perform it and it must be abandoned and guarded against. The claim that it preserves a girl's virginity is a false assertion, inspired by Satan, with no basis in Islamic law. Scholars must clarify this and warn against it.
