Abstract

The examination of the obligatory ruling on the physical punishment of children by mothers has always been a challenging jurisprudential issue, which is appropriate to highlight further given the differences in education today compared to the past. The discussion centers on the legal ruling of punishing a child for the purpose of fulfilling divine duties or customs, while there has been no discussion regarding punishment for social crimes, which is referred to in jurisprudence as "ta'zir." There is no disagreement among jurists regarding the general permissibility of physical punishment of children by fathers; however, concerning mothers, in addition to many jurists not addressing this issue, there are also some disputes. In this study, relying on the method of inference and the analytical examination of data, and considering two reasons: the practice of the community and the comprehensive application of the evidence for the necessity of child upbringing, the permissibility of physical punishment by mothers is established under three conditions: punishment with the intention of discipline, accompanied by gentleness and kindness, and conditional upon not causing injury to the child.
