A father striking his son
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Salim asks your eminence: Is it forbidden for a parent to strike his child or not? Especially if this happens after much warning?
Answer:
The obligatory is not forbidden. It is obligatory for him to strike his son if he abandons the prayer. The father has authority if the son is with him in the house; he has authority over him and strikes him. But if the son is outside the house, he advises him and reminds him of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.

Command your children to pray when they are seven, strike them for it when they are ten, and separate them in their beds.
مروا اولادكم بالصلاه لسبع واضربوهم اضربوهم عليها لعشر وفرقوا بينهم في المضاجع
