But Allah willing, we will cross this bridge safely. he necessary Islamic conditions for (wife) beating must be met, the aim of beating a wife "is to discipline, not to vent one's anger".

He suggested that beating the wife should not be done with sharp object or rod, but instead "something like the sewak tooth-cleaning twig - or with a handkerchief". 

Al-Saqaby said; "because the goal is merely to make the wife feel that she was wrong in the way she treated her husband", and he said husband should remind their wife of "your rights and of her duties, according to Allah".
