FIQH AND LAW ON THE PARENTAL CHILD TREATMENT

Article 59(s1) of Islamic penal code recognizes the parental treatment in the form of punishment, as a justification as long as it is reasonable. As Rule 167(constitution) sets it out, the vagueness of laws-so 59 (s1)-has to be settled by referring to Sharia’s documents where there are four restrictions on the bodily punishment of children;(a) being at age 7,8 or 10; (b)failing to do prayers; (c) there won’t be an injury and; (d) the treatment should be out of anger. The paper brings these requirements into focus.
