Dear Ziad:

The “more thoughts” I was referring to is regarding your efforts to save a child from being hit by teaching the parents that darb does not mean to hit. If a parent doesn’t … need to hit their child but does it so to obey the instruction (to hit a child at 10 if they don’t pray), then you will be very helpful to such a parent. But if a parent hits their child so to relieve their distress, in anger, intending to hurt, then how will you be helping that (one more of so many) unfortunate child?
