This is my takeaway with religious practice. If something is desired, but banned, people will find something that is practically similar enough, and technically allowed by the religion.
- gher-shyu3i 6y agoExcept with Islam, since its texts are clear enough to warn about and prohibit what you're describing. Don't lump all religions together.

So people might tell themselves they are doing a workaround, but it is not really valid from the point of view of the organized religious body.
