Muslims always seem to find a way to make me not like their religion. Even here in Calgary, some of them display abhorrent behaviour.
A website called “Muslims of Calgary” has instructions on how to “make your wife happy,” which advises men to hit their wives to “correct her mistakes.”
Correcting her Mistakes
- First, implicit and explicit advice several times.
- Then by turning your back to her in bed (displaying your feelings). Note that this does not include leavingthe bedroom to another room, leaving the house to another place, or not talking with her.
- The last solution is lightly hitting (when allowable) her. In this case, the husband should consider thefollowing:
a) He should know that sunnah is to avoid beating as the Prophet PBUH never beat a woman or a servant.
b) He should do it only in extreme cases of disobedience, e.g. refusing intercourse without causefrequently, constantly not praying on time, leaving the house for long periods of time without permissionnor refusing to tell him where she had been, etc..
c) It should not be done except after having turned from her bed and discussing the matter with her asmentioned in Qur`an.
d) He should not hit her hard injuring her, or hit her on her face or on sensitive parts of her body.
e) He should avoid shaming her such as by hitting her with a shoe, etc.
The whole set of instructions seems offensive. It is very patronizing to the wife and makes clear that the man is the boss. That is not how we do things in Canada (I mean, if the woman consents to that, it is a different story, but she shouldn’t be forced under the guise of religion).
Since this involves my new city of Calgary, I am going to try to keep an eye on this story. I want to see if there is anything done about this.
