    Is it illegal even if you didn't touch the net?

    No, as long as it doesn't impede nor distract your opponent.

    look under section 'faults'. It is not listed there, so it is not a fault.

    it is okay so long as you are NOT distracting or disturbing the opponent(s), in the opinion of the umpire.
    meaning to say, the action is part of the body balancing for a stroke or follow thru.
    it has to be momentary which means you don't put your leg or any part of the body under the net statically.
