    If you touch ur body without any sexual desire or attachment or anything is it a sin no or yes strictest answer possible For itching

    9 hrs ago 6

    Strict answer: Yes, it can be a sin in Jainism if it involves हिंसा or carelessness, even when there is no sexual desire.

    But it is not a sexual sin if you are only touching your body for itching, cleaning, or necessity without lust or attachment.

    In Jain Dharma:

    • Sexual desire is a separate दोष.
    • Touching the body for itching is usually not a grave sin in the sexual sense.
    • However, scratching can still create हिंसा, because it may injure living beings on the body or harm the body with attachment or carelessness.

    So the strictest Jain answer is:

    • Not a sexual sin: yes.
    • Completely sinless: no, not always.
    • If done with strong intent of lust: then it becomes much worse.
    • If done only to relieve itching, with minimal force and awareness: the दोष is very small.

    Best Jain conduct: Try to use the least harmful way to relieve itching, with mindfulness and non-attachment.
