Is it permissible in the Shari'ah to use force and beat one's sister in order to discipline her?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, is it permissible in the Shari'ah to use force against a sister; I mean, for example, should I beat my sister?
The Shaykh : Use what?
The questioner : Beating with force, I mean, for a reason, for discipline or something like that, to deter a specific act that is contrary to proper conduct or morals.
The Shaykh : You mean a brother beats his sister?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Is their father alive?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : He does not have that right.
The questioner : Even if this matter, for example, is related to himself, to his person?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible.
The questioner : It is not permissible.
The Shaykh : No.
The questioner : Even if there is, for example, provocation or something, something of this kind, I mean?
The Shaykh : How long will you keep repeating "even if"? It is not permissible; he should complain about her to their father and keep his hand off her.
The questioner : Okay; and if her father, I mean, does not do anything?
The Shaykh : Then he, too, does not do anything.
The questioner : Like this?
The Shaykh : Like this.
The questioner : Good, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : May Allah grant you well, you will see that good is permanent.
The questioner : With Allah's permission, amen.
