Abstract

Examining the Obligatory Ruling on Physical Punishment of a Child by the Mother
One of the challenging jurisprudential issues of the contemporary era is the obligatory ruling on physical punishment of a child by the mother. Given the differences in upbringing today compared to the past, it is appropriate to further clarify its aspects. The main focus of the discussion is the examination of the religious ruling on punishing a child for the purpose of fulfilling divine duties or customs, and it does not address punishment for social crimes, which is referred to as "ta'zir." There is no disagreement among jurists regarding the general permissibility of physical punishment of a child by the father. However, there are disputes among jurists regarding the mother, and given the lack of explicit permission for the mother, it seems that many believe in the prohibition of physical punishment by the mother. In this article, based on the method of inference and jurisprudential analysis of data, and considering two reasons: the practice of the religious community and the general applicability of the evidence for the necessity of child upbringing, the obligatory permissibility of physical punishment by the mother is established, provided it meets three conditions: punishment with the intention of discipline, accompanied by gentleness and kindness, and without causing any injury to the child.
