SaeedinPakistan:
Sorry if that’s how I sounded. What I meant was, stop being apologetic. The religion says hitting is allowed.
So I’m sitting here arguing with you over this, you’re defending it based on what you thing the scriptures are saying… and you think I’m OK with domestic abuse? LOL…
Who’s to say this doesn’t come under the category of ill-conduct?
The righteous women are devoutly obedient aren’t they. And chai any colder than 75 Celcius probably translates to disobedience, who knows.
Well, if we’re going to sit here and choose to cling onto just one excerpt, then here’s another translation, which goes into detail about what is considered “ill-conduct” in this verse.
The Glorified Allah does not permit men to beat their wives. This action is considered as ZULM –Cruelty and an evil deed.
Only under strict conditions, the man can punish his wife.
These conditions have been clarified by verses and hadiths.
“Men are guardians over women because Allah has made some of them excel others, and because they (men) spend of their wealth. The good women are the obedient, guarding (themselves) as Allah has guarded them when they are alone. For those, on whose part you fear desertion and lust (toward others), warn them, leave them alone in their sleeping-places and beat them. Then if they obey, do not seek another way against them. Allah is High, (and) Great.” (An-Nisa/The Women 4/34)
…The ‘obeying women’ in the 34[SUP]th[/SUP] verse of An-Nisa are the women who obey Allah. If we consider this statement to express ‘the women who obey their husbands’ then we should understand the statement in the Surah Al-Ahzab to express ‘the men who obey their wives’. It means that the system of rules in a family is set by the couple, which would lead to familial dispute. When both of the spouses obey the rules set by Allah, it leads to a clear satisfactory system in the family.
Feel free to read the entire fatwa. It goes into the nitty gritty.
