Child beating in Islam

Question:

786
As Salam Aleikum!

BRR. Is child beating allowed in Islam? If it is, then in what extent and in what situations? Are there differences between the four madhabs about this issue? Could you please provide me some link in internet about children education in Islam?

Jazakallahu khair
Wa Salam

Answer:

A`udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajeem
Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem

wa `alaykum salam,
It is haram to hit anyone in the face including children. To hit them in a way that would leave a mark on the skin is also haram. So any admonishing has to be light.
