Beating children for something less important than prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, should we beat our children for something less important than prayer?

Answer:
This was only mentioned regarding prayer. As for other matters, if you want to discipline them, for example, or to make them fear, there is nothing wrong with it. But we say that this is prescribed; this is not done except with evidence. Yes.
