Question

I have read that the zahiris did not consider it a sin to beat up one's parents. Is this true?

Answer

Dawood Zahiri was a great scholar and Jurists. However, his Madhab did not continue like the other four famous Madhaahib. It is highly unlikely that it was permissible according to them to beat up one's parents as he used to the Zaahiri (literal) meanings of the Qur'aan and Hadith.

The Zaahir of the Qur'aan prohibiting abuse to parents is expressly clear.
