Father disciplining his daughter

· 27 Jumada II 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

As a father, can one punish the daughter if she's a teenager? Islamically what physical discipline is permitted or should my wife do it?

Answer

It is permissible to discipline your daughter. However, it is better that you get your wife to discipline her.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
