Wife hitting her husband
Question
What is the punishment for a wife who hits her husband?
Answer
The husband should not be too concerned about the punishment. He should rather look for ways how both will improve themselves. It is appropriate that both go in mastooraat jamaat for some time.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
