Boycoting the wife for more than three days for the purpose of discipline

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible to boycott the wife for more than three days to discipline her?

Answer:
Boycott her until she repents from her marital defiance. If she abandons the defiance, the boycott ends. However, as long as she has not abandoned the defiance, it is not sufficient to merely boycott her; she must be struck.
But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike themوَاللَّاتِي تَخَافُونَ نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ وَاهْجُرُوهُنَّ فِي الْمَضَاجِعِ وَاضْرِبُوهُنَّ
[An-Nisa 4:34]
He strikes her with a non-harmful blow until she abandons the defiance. Yes.
