Muslim Child Abuse

[Skipper]

Fr0d0, you said:

"There is specific instruction there that a valid last resort is physical violence - where physical violence is abhorrent."

You are right, in saying that physical violence is abhorrent, however, the "violence" is actually a physical contact which is not supposed to bruise or severely injure the wife (kind of like a parent hitting a child). Why? Because the Arabic word is "wadribuhunna," from the root word "darb," which has many meanings which include to "hit or strike lightly." Scholars have also placed limits on what form of "hitting" is allowed such as only using the hand and not striking the face or any of the delicate parts of the body.

I haven't been posting here for a week or two but it's good to see Rayaans blind justification and excuse making for Islam hasn't changed.
