False Beliefs Regarding Conjugal Relations
Question
I have read that conjugal relationship should be done to the bare minimal to the extent that it should be only once in a lifetime. Also mentioned that looking at the private parts or in a standing position etc. could result in a blind or dumb child etc. mentioned together with a few more repercussions. Is all of this authentic?
Answer
We haven’t come across any authentic narration regarding this.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
