Is there legislation in Islam that limits paternal violence towards children, especially given cases that cause psychological and physical harm, and why do we not see an Islamic solution to this phenomenon except in cases of murder, and anything less than that has no rectification or legislation?

The religion of Islam clarifies every good for its servants, and fathers are responsible for their children before Allah, and assaulting them is forbidden. Hitting children is permitted for discipline and rectification with legitimate controls, among them that it should not be severe, nor on the face or dangerous areas, and it should be with the intention of discipline, not to cause pain. Assaulting children is an aberrant act, and there is the door of ta'zir (discretionary punishment) which allows the guardian to punish abusive fathers. The father is not subject to qisas (retaliation in kind) if he assaults his child causing death or injury to a limb, according to the majority of scholars, but his action is forbidden, and he must pay the diyah (blood money).
