Is it permissible to exceed ten strikes by analogy with discretionary punishment?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the number of strikes in the hadith... is the striking only ten strikes?
The Shaykh : Yes, may Allah guide you. In discretionary punishment, there is an authentic hadith stating that in the matter of discretionary punishment, it is not permissible to flog with a flogging. And I do not think it is correct for us to say that the teacher flogs the boy or the youth with a flogging, but rather he strikes him with a non-severe strike. The flogging that falls under discretionary punishment is not permissible to exceed ten, by the explicit text of the authentic hadith. But this flogging does not apply to the matter of raising a child.
Another questioner : The last one with...
The questioner : Regarding hanging the stick.

The questioner : Can we hang the stick in the classroom or something like that?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is possible, why not? As long as the Messenger of Allah said this, it is permissible, but hanging it, not using it.
