Apparently, in Gaza, beating your wife is all one big, funny joke.
Gazan mufti Hassan al-Laham was interviewed in a segment on official Palestinian Authority TV on February 8, 2016 in which he claimed wife beating was God’s solution for marital woes.
“Allah created a solution for this…warn them [the wives], and separate from them, and hit them, and bring an arbitrator from his family and an arbitrator from her family. [Only] after this comes divorce. The husband starts with a warning,” he said in the clip that was translated by Palestinian Media Watch.
The mufti elucidated the steps saying: “The warning needs to be made politely by the husband to his wife, while he shows good relations, dialogue, respect and humanity.”
He added that “the warning should be made using a good word, good treatment and a positive look.”
Laham advised that if the issue is still not resolved, then “comes the hitting — hitting that does not make her ugly.”
“The Prophet [Muhammad] said: ‘Do not hit the face and do not make her ugly,’” he continued. “In other words, not hitting that will bring the police and break her hand and cause bleeding, or hitting that makes the face ugly. No….The hitting is not meant to disfigure, harm, or degrade. The hitting will be like a joke. He will hit her jokingly.”

Wow wow wow. All I can say
Why in the world are your posting this idiotic man’s ideas and culture? Although we know how wrong this is, however Chazal tell us that when one sees others doing even terrible things, it can have a negative “hashpah” on them. In addition, it can lead one to think, “Oh if there are others that are doing this, it must not be so bad”
If one wants to watch videos of the sort, there are plenty of other outlets. Is this what Yeshiva World news has come to?

One can only hope that his followers take his advice
Islam has made significant contributions to our society according to our society.

This is Islam, not Judaism. So what do you want? Them to be like us?
By them hitting a wife is part of keeping her in place. Understand it in context.
