Can Beating Women be moved from the Category of the Repugnant to that of the Forbidden?

We saw that the basis for this subject in Islam and the first judgment of Islam about beating women makes the action forbidden. Then the action moved to the category of the permissible act for some certain reasons, and finally it was moved to the category of the repugnant. But when does beating women become forbidden? It is a forbidden action if it was an unjust transgression, without any reason, since every form of unjust transgression is forbidden in Islam. Allah, the Exalted said in His Wise Book, warning against any form of injustice:

“And whoever among you commits injustice (i.e. sets up rivals to Allah), We shall make him taste a great torment.” (Surah Al-Furqan, 25: 19)

Allah also said:

“And the unjust will have neither any Walei’ (Protector, Guardian), nor any Supporter.” (Surah Ash-Shurah, 42:8)

Allah’s Messenger (sallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said:

“Fear and abstain from injustice (and oppression). Verily, injustice will turn into excessive darkness in the Day of Judgment.” (Reported by Al-Bayhaqi)

Allah’s Messenger (sallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) also said:

“Fear the supplication of the oppressed, as there is no screen between it and Allah.” (Reported by Al-Bukhari)

The Prophet (sallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) also said:

“Fear the supplication of the oppressed, even if he is a disbeliever, as there is no screen for it (between itself and Allah).” (Reported by Ahmad)

In addition, Islam did not only forbid hurting one’s woman physically, but even verbally. Allah, the Exalted, says:

“Verily, those who accuse chaste women, who never even think of anything touching their chastity and are good believers – are cursed in this life and in the Hereafter, and for them will be a great torment.” (Surah An-Nur, 24:23)

Allah, the Exalted, also says:

“And those who annoy believing men and women undeservedly, they bear (on themselves) the crime of slander and plain sin.” (Surah Al-Ahzab, 33:58)

The Prophet of Allah (sallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) also said:

“The Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand, the people are safe, and the believer is the one from whom the people's lives and wealth are safe.” (Reported by An-Nasa’i)

And notice that in the previous Hadith the Prophet (sallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said that people are safe from the hand and the tongue of a Muslim and he did not say that Muslims are safe.

Therefore, the one who claims that Islam encourages injustice or beating women invents a great slander and a great lie.
