Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! The questioner says: If a son makes a clear mistake and becomes deserving of punishment to discipline him, and then he says to his father, "I am in the face of Allah," does his father hit him for that?
Answer:
Yes, if he has repented, if he has repented and sought refuge in Allah from his father's beating, and he is repentant and will reform, then it is not permissible for his father to hit him. Let him fear Allah the Mighty and Majestic. But if he has not repented and has not turned back, then he hits him, even if he seeks refuge in Allah. Yes.
