Question

Would you please give me the detail of SURTH AL_NISSA verse 34.tell me under which circumstances a man can beat his wife according to this verse. In some book I have read that if a husband have that much amount of money that if he gives this money to his parents than nothing is left for his wife and if he gives that money to his wife nothing is left for his parents. Than according to Islamic rules he should gave this money to his wife. Is that is true.

1. Allah Ta'ala says in the noble Qur'aan: If you fear (with certainty) disobedience of your wives, then firstly advise them verbally. If after advising them on this they still don't listen, then secondly stop relations with them in the bedroom (by not having marital relations with them or facing your back to them and sleeping), and if they still don't listen, then hit them lightly. If they rectify and start obeying you, then treat them well again. Verily, Allah Almighty is All-Great (this last part is a warning to the men not to oppress their wives unjustly).

Hitting is only permissible in extreme cases and as a last option. The hitting should be light without making wounds or marks. The objective is not to hit and hurt your wife she is an Amaanat from Allah, but the object is to merely jolt her to reform herself. (Tafseer Mazhari)
2. A woman has rights over her husband, i.e. he must feed her and clothes her and provide shelter for her in accordance to his means. This is obligatory upon every married man. A man will only have to provide for his parents if they are unable to earn care very poor.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
