When Why Did You Stop Beating Your Wife?
Kinda makes sense, when you think about it.
Allah created women with these delicate, fragile, supple, and soft bodies, […where was I…?] because they use their emotions more than they use their bodies. Therefore, while the man may use beating to discipline his wife, she sometimes uses her tears to discipline him. He gets what he wants by screaming, while she gets what she wants from him by crying and displaying emotions. For men, women’s emotions may be fiercer than the strike of a sword.
Yeah, ladies. You think you got it tough?
First, “admonish them” – once, twice, three times, four times, ten times. If this doesn’t help, “refuse to share their beds.”… If neither method worked with her, what is the third option?
…
Beating in the face is forbidden, even when it comes to animals. When a person is beating an animal… Even if you want your camel or donkey to start walking, you are not allowed to beat it in the face. If this is true for animals, it is all the more true when it comes to humans.
I can’t go on. But the good sheikh has no problem. It’s amazing what Islam can teach you.
