    IF YOU TOUCH UR BODY WITHOUT ANY SEXUAL DESIRE OR ATTACHMENT OR ANYTHING IS IT A SIN NO OR YES STRICTEST ANSWER POSSIBLE ITCHING THE MAIN PART Is it like a very grave and a major sin

    Strict Jain answer: NO, not a grave or major sin if it is only for cleaning, itching, or relieving discomfort, and there is truly no lust, attachment, or excitement.

    In Jainism, karma is bound mainly by intention, passion, and inner attachment. So:

    • Purely involuntary or practical touching → not considered a major sin
    • Touching with sexual desire, excitement, or indulgence → becomes sinful and harmful for one’s spiritual progress

    If it is itching the private part only to relieve itching, then it is not treated as a very grave sin in the strict Jain sense. But one should still remain careful, self-controlled, and detached.

    So the strictest clear answer is:

    No — not a major sin if done without desire or attachment. Yes — it becomes sinful if accompanied by lust or passion.
