What is the ruling on hitting female students who need literary or scientific guidance?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is good for the instructor and teacher to be gentle and lenient with both children and adults. However, if the situation calls for a non-bruising chastisement or a light beating, that is permissible, because it is characteristic of the foolish to behave badly and disrespectfully. Thus, there is a need for severity and strength that will be more effective than gentleness and leniency.
