It is not permissible for a teacher to touch, pinch, or hit adult, non- women with his hand, due to the prohibition of touching anything other than the face and hands, even if there is no fear of temptation. Furthermore, an adult should not be struck except in the case of a legal punishment (hadd) or a disciplinary one (ta'zeer).
