The full significance of this event may only be properly understood when one appreciates the cultural conditions in which this took place.

It is also remarkable how it is that the prophet of islam (momo) permitted prostitution (albeit under a different title) the shia still practice this. However the sunni do not, this is due to an event in which a follower of momo accidentally committed incest with his own prostituting daughter as the result of momo's teaching regarding the subject.

Food for thought.
