Corporal punishment is a form of physical punishment that involves the deliberate infliction of pain as retribution for an offence, or for the purpose of disciplining or reforming a wrongdoer, or to deter attitudes or behaviour deemed unacceptable. The term usually refers to methodically striking the offender with the open hand or with an implement, whether in judicial, domestic, or educational settings.
Islam allows it to a certain degree as a form of discipline. However, the guidelines provided in administering it are different than western concept of it. It is used as a deterrent to negative behavior and as an enforcer to positive behavior and reserved only as a last resort and where applicable. It is not used for nor an excuse for physical abuse, which Islam does not condone at all.
