Wife Punishment

[AlShamms]

Assalamo Alikum,


'AlShamms'



I did not watch the video because most of the time I am in China and Youtube and all ‘cool’ websites have been blocked here, but I do have an idea about the topic itself and that’s why I jumped in to offer some answers.

But that's the point I was making. This entire topic is based on the comments of the speaker in the video. So while you may have knowledge of the topic, you can't properly respond because you haven't seen what the speaker was saying, what points to address, etc.

Quoting the Bible is just a natural reaction for me, no tactics or anything intended. I only wanted you or anyone who has got a problem with the teaching of Islam to reflect over his own problem first before trying to find faults in others’.

Again, that's the point I'm making, that is called a deflective tactic. Instead of addressing the topic, you throw out the distraction of "see what the bible says". Then, you don't handle the material of the Bible with the same level of scholarship that you do your own book. Which is disingenuous.

<span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:Garamond;">Now coming back to the topic which is bothering you alot. I am going to watch that video tomorrow or day after when I go to Hong Kong City insh a Allah and will revert back to you with more answers and comments. But meanwhile, according to qualified scholars (
</span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:Garamond;">yes qualified
</span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:Garamond;">) they allowed women who were abused and beaten by their husbands to seek divorce and to leave the house and go to their family for protection. However, the beating that I have explained earlier only applies to those
</span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:Garamond;">NASHEZ
</span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:Garamond;"> wives and not to the humble, religious, and obedient ones, and it is only to be done with the intention of saving the marriage.
</span></span>

<span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:Garamond;">So beating one's wife is only reserved for disobedient wives. Question: Who determines what is considered disobedient? Example: If I ask for some food, and she doesn't get it to me quick enough, can I beat her to remind her to feed me faster?
