Question:
A questioner says: If a teacher strikes a student and one of his limbs is damaged, is the teacher liable?
Answer:
If it was a severe beating, yes, he is liable. One who splits the skin or breaks a bone is liable. But if it was a beating solely for discipline, then it is permitted by the Shari'ah. The teacher strikes, and the educator strikes, but it is a strike that does not split the skin or break a bone. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
