Domestic violence is punishable by Islamic law. But what do we do with the verse in the Quran that seems to not only allow but advocate physically ‘correcting’ a so-called ‘rebellious’ wife? Is the verse in the Quran that uses the word ‘dhoraba’ translated properly as ‘beat them lightly’? Is our understanding misconstrued?  How do we begin to address this issue? Shaykh Adhami concludes our ChaiPod series of podcasts with this controversial issue. As an illuminating nugget check out the 22:oo minute mark for the ‘aside’ on polygamy.  Shaykh Abdullah Adhami is an Islamic scholar and founder/director of Sakeenah.org.
