Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: My husband is quick to anger and to beat in the rights of Allah. So when I advise him about that, he says that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was known for this. Is what my husband says correct?
Answer:
'Umar ibn al-Khattab was an amir and a caliph, but you are not an amir nor a caliph? No. Yes, you discipline your children and raise them, but the children of other people are not for you to expose them to this; it is the officials who deal with them. Yes.
