I'm going to quote those,
"
Attitudes of Muslim rulers[edit]
Under the
Delhi Sultanate, permission had to be sought from the widow before any practice of sati as a check against compulsion. However, this later became more of a formality.
[87] Mughals interfered little with local customs, but they seemed intent on stopping sati.
[88] Mughal emperor
Humayun (1508-1556) was the first to try a royal fiat against sati.
[87] Akbar (1542–1605) was next to issue official general orders prohibiting sati and insisted that no woman could commit sati without the specific permission of his
chief police officers.
[87][88] The chief police officers were instructed by him to delay the woman's decision for as long as possible.
[87] Pensions, gifts, and rehabilitative help were offered to the potential sati to persuade her from committing the act.
[87] Tavernier, writing in the reign of
Shah Jahan, observed that widows with children were not allowed in any circumstances to burn and that in other cases, governors did not readily give permission, but could be bribed to do so.
[88][89]"
Man, we were really tolerant...
