โ Question:
What does Islam say about hitting children?
โ
Answer:
In Islam, children are a trust (amanah) from Allah , and they must be treated with mercy, kindness, and respect โค๏ธ.
The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) never hit a child and was known for his gentle and loving nature ๐ธ. He (SAW) said:
โHe is not one of us who does not show mercy to our young.โ
Islam teaches that children should be guided with patience, love, and good example ๐ฟ. Discipline is allowed, but it must never be harsh, harmful, or done in anger โ ๏ธ. Hurting a child physically or emotionally goes against the spirit of Islam, which is based on mercy (rahmah) ๐ค.
Parents are encouraged to teach, advise, and nurture their children with compassionโjust as the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) did ๐คโจ.
