Islamic scholar from Gaza university: Wife beating should be 'therapeutic', teach a lesson

 


Dr. Ziyad Miqdad, head of the Fatwa Committee in the Islamic University of Gaza said that when a husband beats his wife, according to the Quran, the beatings must be done symbolically, and he should not beat the wife in a manner that causes injury. 

He made his remarks on a show that aired on Al-Aqsa TV (Hamas – Gaza) on July 8, 2021. 
Dr. Miqdad explained that the beatings should be therapeutic and not vindictive, but they should be like a guy beating his sweetheart, a father beating his son, and a mother beating her daughter.  
He said that the husband must beat his wife only in order to correct her ways and preserve the family life.
