Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Islamic scholar: ‘The husband’s beating of his wife should be a therapeutic beating’

By

“It should be a therapeutic beating, rather than a vindictive one.”

All right, but this distinction is highly subjective. There is domestic violence in all cultures, but only in one does it have divine sanction. The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34

Muhammad’s child bride, Aisha, says in a hadith that Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: ‘Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?’” — Sahih Muslim 2127

An another hadith states: “Rifa`a divorced his wife whereupon `AbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. `Aisha said that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (and complained to her (Aisha) of her husband and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allah’s Messenger came, Aisha said, ‘I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!’” — Sahih Bukhari 7.77.5825

“Dr. Ziyad Miqdad, Head Of Fatwa Committee At The Islamic University Of Gaza: Like A Father Beats His Son, Or A Mother Her Daughter, Wife-Beating Should Be Therapeutic, Not Vindictive,” MEMRI, July 19, 2021:

Dr. Ziyad Miqdad, head of the Fatwa Committee in the Islamic University of Gaza said that when a husband beats his wife, according to the Quran, the beatings must be done symbolically, and he should not beat the wife in a manner that causes injury. He made his remarks on a show that aired on Al-Aqsa TV (Hamas – Gaza) on July 8, 2021….

Ziyad Miqdad: “The purpose of [wife] beating is to warn the wife that the life of the family is in danger, and that the martial relations are in danger, and that she should be cautious and not let the family be destroyed and that our children and our future are not [adversely] affected. The beating should be symbolic. In case the beating is for real, certain terms and provisions must be met. First of all, the purpose of the beating must not be to exact revenge or to cause injury.”

Interviewer: “So there are certain restrictions to this beating.”

Miqdad: “Yes. First of all, the goal should be to mend [her ways] and protect [family] life. Secondly, when you beat [your wife] you should avoid hitting sensitive parts like the face or vital organs, and so on. It should not be a hard and vindictive beating. We are talking about your wife. There is a saying: The beloved’s fist is as sweet as raisins. The husband’s beating of his wife – if it happens at all – should be like a guy beating his sweetheart. Join me in picturing what beating someone you love should look like. It is like when a father beats his son, or when a mother beats her daughter for doing something wrong. It should be a therapeutic beating, rather than a vindictive one. The goal is to correct the wide and warn her that she did something wrong, and only in cases when she does not respond to admonishment and to [husband] forsaking [her in bed]. Beating should be the last resort. Therefore, this [Quranic] verse protects martial life and the family.”

  1. I’m guessing that’s therapeutic for the husband, I doubt if the wife finds it so.

    • By extension, does this then mean that my wanting to beat the snot out of one of these turds whenever I see them abusing their slaves/wives in public could be deemed to be therapeutic for me?

  2. This Muslim scholar is a violent misogynist. Just like Muhammad. What a dreadful attempt at a religion.

    • What a dreadful attempt at a religion.
      Probably the best short description of Islam I’ve come across.. LOL

      • Imagine anyone now starting a religion which encourages polygamy, child marriage, FGM, rape of miscreants, capital punishment for blasphemers, apostates and homosexuals etc. He would soon find himself in prison or dead (or both)

  3. Any husband who gives his wife a “therapeutic beating” is a disgusting human being. No exceptions.

    • Wellington,

      Absolutely 100% true.

      Pulling ER duty, I’ve treated wives who have been beaten by their husbands.

      Difficult to control my anger, made my blood boil…

  4. What is he suggesting here? A spanking? That would look so much like the Howard Stern of the 90s ?

  6. What that Muslim scholar had said has further proven that old wise say to be true , that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.”

    That Islamic scholar’s words also reveals that Islam is a religion of brutal ,violent misogyny.

  7. A therapeutic beating!! What a grotesque idea. Typical horseshit from Islam, that backward and primitive load of crap. I’d love to see this maggot get a nice therapeutic beating and a beating that would be full of plenty of force and vindictiveness . Now that would be an interesting thing to see. I notice that this moronic misogynist has a doctorate, so he fits right in with all those other Muslim “scholars” who spout all that primitive islamic crap day after day. These scum are still living their 7th century Arab lifestyle and will never progress and become part of civilised society.

    ………………..

    Ah, yes–beating your wife is not a problem–it is the solution to wives’s “endangering” their families.

    Note that “Honor Killing” is rife in Gaza, unsurprisingly:

    “No Justice for Women Killed in Gaza”

    How “therapeutic” is this?

    More:

    “The beloved’s fist is as sweet as raisins”
    ………………..

    I wonder if this would be the case if some woman was abusing her husband? I rather doubt it…

    • gravenimage, isn’t the use of the word “therapeutic” incredible in this context? islam, what a disgusting load of primitive garbage it is on so many ways. Of course, the women do fight back occasionally. There was the wife who castrated her husband which was reported on recently here at Jihad Watch.
