What your mother read has no basis indicating its legality; it is an innovation. Goodness lies in following the of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and evil lies in innovation in religion, as he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever introduces into this matter of ours that which is not from it, it is to be rejected."
