The child who is exposed to hitting and violence by the parents
may turn into a violent and stubborn child who argues with his
siblings and peers, and counters violence with violence.
But there are some professors of social psychology who allow
smacking children for the purpose of discipline. Dr. Mustafa
‘Uways, Professor of Sociology at the National Centre for
Sociological and Criminological Research says: Smacking is one of
the means of disciplining children. And he adds: Before we affirm
that it is permissible, the father and mother have to understand
that what is meant by smacking here does not mean the type of
hitting that can leave psychological or physical scars. Islam
regards smacking as a means of discipline for a wife who defies
her husband, but that comes only after he stops talking to her,
then forsakes her in bed. The last resort is smacking, without
hitting the face or leaving marks on the body. In the same
manner, children may be smacked for the purpose of discipline,
not to make them develop a complex or make them more
stubborn and difficult. … Unfortunately they do not allow us to
smack children in schools, and it has gone so far that children
have started to hit teachers and parents. There have been many
such reports in newspapers. We do not deny that these reports
refer to isolated incidents; however, such things do happen. But
in order to deal with this problem we have no choice but to go
back to the teachings of the Islamic religion, which allows
smacking on the basis of wisdom and rationality; the punishment
meted out by the parent has to be appropriate. Alternatives to
smacking have not given results; rather they have led to children
increasing in defiance and criminal attitudes. I am a supporter of
going back to smacking that is not painful or harmful as a means
of disciplining children, whether at home or school, whilst setting
out necessary guidelines so that it does not lead to harming
children. I believe that if we had not been smacked by parents
then our discipline would have failed and if the teacher did not
smack us we would not have learned anything and none of us
would have become doctors or engineers or scientists. It is not a
means of venting parental frustration with the children; rather
