Rabt is a disgraceful and prohibited act and is considered a major evil (منکر شنیع). It works by targeting the central system of emotions, disrupting the communication of signals that are sent to the veins responsible for supplying blood to the male organ. As a result, it becomes flaccid and unable to function.

[Surah Al-Baqarah: 102]
