The Ruling on Threatening Children with the Fire
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible to discipline children with fire, in the sense of frightening them with matches and the like? Is it permissible to frighten children with fire, using matches and the like?
Answer:
It is not permissible. This is terrorizing them with a weapon, and fire is greater than a weapon, so it is not permissible. They may be harmed in their minds. This is a form of exhaustion, and may Allah protect us from it. It is not permissible in any case. Yes.
