This study is to investigate the permissibility and
limitation of corporal punishment given to the children in
the educational institutions all over the country. The
researcher has selected the Quranic Verses [Words of
Allah], Hadiths [sayings of the Holy Prophet] and the
Islamic Fiqh [Islamic Jurisprudence] to elaborate the
right and balanced path of educating a child.
Corporal punishment is considered as an effective
disciplinary measure which is used to shape a child’s
behavior. In this regard, Islamic viewpoint is very clear
as it has a balanced approach. The basic thing is to
educate a child. Observing the whole life of the Prophet
Muhammad (s.a.w)he had never ever beaten his students
or sub ordinates as Hazrat Anas (R.A) narrated [Sahih
Bukhari]. On the other hand, he allows a father to beat
his child if he neglects Salah (prayer) after he reaches ten
years of age (Abu Dawood). Beating a child is not a
principle but a method which is used on the basis of need.
The researcher concludes that Shariah (Islamic
Legislation) allows imposition of light physical
punishment as a last and final method to educate a
student. But it is permissible when all the other means of
upbringing have been used previously and have no impact
on him such as kindness, discussion, motivation, warning,
advice and direction.
