The Ruling on Beating the Wife and Children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person is asking about the ruling on beating the wife and children with a stick for the purpose of discipline, and what is the best thing in discipline?
Answer:
If beating becomes necessary, the children and the wife are beaten, but the beating must not be severe; it must not cause injury or break a bone, but rather be somewhat painful, without leaving any bad marks. The Lawgiver has permitted this for the disciplinarian, the teacher, and the ruler. This is necessary. As they say, whoever forbids discipline forbids good, and whoever feels safe from reproof behaves badly. Yes.
