The highly debated topic of the husband beating the “Nashez” wife in the holy Qur’an

Here we tackle the highly debated topic of the husband beating the “Nashez” wife, which means arrogantly hurting her husband by means of letting the persons he hates into the house, & arrogant disobedience.


First, we must mention the nature of the holy Qur’an, the holy Qur’an is a small book leading to one integrated sentence, Which means that The holy Quran is Not an arranged topic by topic chapter by chapter book, it’s a Net of orders and stories closely related diversely located.

Which means that to understand the holy Qur’an’s point of view in any subject you must bring in front of you each and every verse related to the topic including a verse in the beginning of the book, a verse in the middle, and a verse at the end, etc., Then Read these diversely located verses as a one integrated sentence.

This Golden Rule in understating the holy Qur’an is known to all top Academic Muslims Scholars and is a key to understand the Holy Qur’an.

What the extremists violent groups do is that they intentionally ignore this Golden rule and pic one verse, isolate it and build their wrong criminal ill judgment on this incomplete isolated verse. They even sometimes pic only a part of a verse not even completing it.

The holy Qur’an clearly Blames and condemns any person who divides the holy Qur’an not understanding it as one integrated sentence:

Holy Qur’an, Sura 15 Al-Hijr:

[Verse 90: Just as We had revealed [scriptures] to the separators
91: Who have made the Qur'an into portions.
92: So by your Lord, We will surely question them all
93: About what they used to do.]

Now we get back to beating the “Nashez” wife, this was mentioned in the holy Qur’an in Sura 4 An-Nisa’:

[Verse 34: Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear “Noshooz: Nashez” arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.]

Let us see how to holy Qur’an explains beating the wife "Surah Sad “The Letter Saad” Sura 38:

[Verses 41: And remember Our servant Job, when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, Satan has touched me with hardship and torment."
42: [So he was told], "Strike [the ground] with your foot; this is a [spring for] a cool bath and drink."
43: And We granted him his family and a like [number] with them as mercy from Us and a reminder for those of understanding.
44: [We said], "And take in your hand a bunch [of grass] “Deghth” and strike with it and do not break your oath." Indeed, We found him patient, an excellent servant. Indeed, he was one repeatedly turning back [to Allah ].]

These verses speak of the Prophet Ayub “Job” peace be upon him, and the word “Deghth” is a bunch of grass filling the hand, because when he was ill in the bed he swore to hit his wife a hundred lashes when he heals, the reason for this is not mentioned because the holy Qur’an respects the in-house privacy, so God ordered him to take a bunch of 100 pieces of grass and strike with it only one strike,

This is the beating of the “Nashez” wife, something very symbolic and does not contain any pain, just a handful of soft grass or other stuff that does not hurt, Only a kind of caress that leads to a message to women, and even this as a last resort and chosen according to the husband's assessment of the feasibility with his wife and cultural and social background. There are two solutions before it, namely preaching and abandonment in bed.

Mahmoud
