The victim apparently angered her husband so much that it made him believe that she had transgressed this Qur’anic dictate: “And it is not fitting for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and his messenger have settled a matter, that they should claim any say in the matter, and whoever is rebellious to Allah and his messenger, he indeed goes astray in obvious error.” (Qur’an 33:36) And so he could treat her like an unbeliever: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)
There is domestic violence in all cultures, but only in one does it have divine sanction. Islam doesn’t teach that man may kill his wife, but once you’ve allowed him to beat her, accidents will happen.
The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34
Muhammad’s child bride, Aisha, says in a hadith that Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: ‘Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?’” — Sahih Muslim 2127
Another hadith states: “Rifa`a divorced his wife whereupon `AbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. `Aisha said that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (and complained to her (Aisha) of her husband and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allah’s Messenger came, Aisha said, ‘I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!’” — Sahih Bukhari 7.77.5825

“CNN argued a security consulting company was, in fact, breaking Sharia law while evacuating people out of Afghanistan in a lawsuit regarding its reporting on the 2021 withdrawal.
In June, Florida judges ruled Zachary Young and his company Nemex Enterprises Inc. offered enough evidence to move forward in a defamation suit against CNN. Young alleged that the network smeared his security consulting company by implying it illegally profited when helping people flee Afghanistan, using the terms “black market,” “exploit” and “exorbitant” to paint him as a bad actor preying upon desperate people.
In a motion for summary judgment filed by CNN Thursday, CNN’s lead counsel Deanna K. Shullman said, “This entire defamation case centers on Young’s accusation that CNN implied he engaged in illegal conduct when he arranged, for a substantial fee, to have women smuggled out of Afghanistan.”
Shullman noted, in the filing obtained by Newsbusters, Young’s actions were technically illegal because the Taliban had implemented Sharia law in Afghanistan at the time.
“[D]iscovery has indicated that those activities he orchestrated and funded, which involved moving women out of Afghanistan, almost certainly were illegal under Taliban rule,” she said.”
