Questions on the Explanation of the Book of Nullifiers of Islam

Question:
We hear in the media and read that hitting a woman is an incorrect method, that it is not effective, that it involves brutality, and that it increases marital problems. Is this a rejection of what Allah has revealed?

Answer:
Yes, Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says: He made striking a type of discipline, but it is the final stage. Whoever says that striking a woman is wrong is objecting to the ruling of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), just as the one who says that the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) are barbaric—that cutting off the hand of the thief and stoning the adulterer is barbaric. There is no doubt that this is an objection to the ruling of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and a denial of the Shari'ah (Islamic sacred law) of Allah, and thus he becomes a disbeliever. Yes, Allah sent to you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is there in the saying of Allah the Exalted, "that"?
This denies the original ruling regarding hitting a woman, so it is a denial of what Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has legislated. However, if he says that hitting is the final stage, that one does not start with hitting, but rather goes through the stages with her gradually, or that she is not hit severely, then he has some truth in this. He has some truth in this.
Things are placed in their proper places. Hitting is placed in the place where Allah (Glorified and Exalted) placed it. Yes, it is not hitting for everything.
