Is there a sin on me if I hit my orphan son for any mistake for the purpose of his upbringing?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is there a sin on me if I hit my orphan son for any mistake with the intention that he not return to the mistake?

The Shaykh : There is no sin on you if you hit your orphan son for the sake of his upbringing; rather, that is part of doing good to him and something for which you will be rewarded. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Command your children to pray at seven, and beat them for it at ten. مروا أبناءكم بالصلاة لسبع واضربوهم عليها لعشر
Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:5
This includes orphans and others.
