Question:
A Muslim pointing his hand at his Muslim brother, not with a stick or an iron bar?
Answer:
If he is teaching him something, or pointing to something, there is nothing wrong with it.
Q: Threatening him with his hand?
The Shaykh: As for threatening, it is not permissible to threaten him except with a right, otherwise the hand is an easy matter. But if he has a right in that, he says, "You did such and such," and warns him; there is nothing wrong with it.
Q: Is the ignorant person who carries an iron bar an exception?
The Shaykh: The ignorant person is taught; he is taught by the prohibition of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
