Wow, I am a non Islam hoping for direction and answers to questions, I was not expecting to feel attacked for asking them. I am open with my questions with my husband and have asked him and others before, but no one could anser me, much like the answer you gave me. Perhaps I am being ridiculous to even ask, but I thiught that is what this forum "Non muslim questions" was here for. But thanks for your reply and the information regarding the Hadith. I am aware of what Peter and Paul think (thier personal opinions) of women... though I was not questioning thier beliefs or the bible here... I have my opinions regareding the bible. Do you think that more western people would want to learn about the beauty of Islam if they were welcomed and thier questions were answered with kindess?
If anyone else would be so kind as to answer "does modern day Islam allow a man to beat his wife if he 'fears disloyalty' " (note it does not say if she was disloyal, just if he thought she might be) as outlined in Surah 4:34
And is it the general belief of MODERN DAY ISLAM that the woman is legally deficient in her mind? (Hadith 3.826)
Thanks again, Christy
