The limit of striking for discipline and the number of lashes

The questioner:
Allah.

The Shaykh:
For a sin, a sin if the striking is for discipline. For something other than a sin, discipline for something other than a sin, for example, a violation.
In that case, it is not to be increased beyond ten lashes, such as if your son went to the market without your permission or did not return, or something similar, or a worker who committed a sin. You may strike him up to ten lashes and not exceed that. However, if the striking is for a sin, it may be increased beyond ten lashes according to what is in the public interest, to deter him. So the intended meaning of his saying is in a sin among the sins of Allah, and the intended meaning is not the established limit, the limit for zina or the limit for khamr or the limit. No, the intended meaning here is the sin. Yes, so if the striking is for the sake of discipline, it is not to be increased beyond ten lashes. But if the striking is for the sake of forbidding evil and committing a sin, it is increased according to what is in the public interest and what the discipliner sees. Yes, as evidenced by the fact that the Companions increased beyond ten lashes in ta'zir, and those other than the Companions who came after them did the same.
