As Egyptian cleric Mahmoud Al-Denawy points out: “there are so many…. misconceptions about this.” Here he is, then, to straighten us all out.
The nub of it is: let’s face it, some wives are just plain disobedient. If the husband refusing to sleep with her doesn’t do the trick (this must be an example of Islamic reverse psychology), a spot of beating is in order; try not to break her arms, or teeth, though. And mind out for the face: it belongs to Allah. Besides, someone might notice.
He recommends using a ball point pen? Weirder and weirder….
For sure, I thought that this was a fake, a hoax perpetrated by some nutty islamophobes. Who else would say thses kind of things? Stupid me. I checked this out and it is real. And criminal.
