Abstract

The issue of Zarb al-Nisa (beating women) is one of the topics related to women in the Qur'an, which has been questioned in the recent century due to the spread of feminist ideas. Among the reasons for doubt is the ambiguity in determining its boundaries. Therefore, determining its scope will be a step towards removing doubt. The present study seeks to answer the question of what is the scope of Zarb al-Nisa (Izribouhon) according to its components in verse 34 of Nisa. This study has come to the conclusion by descriptive, analytical method and using library and software resources that each of the components of "Zarb al-Nisa" i.e. "target", "Mazroub (the one who is beaten)", "Zarib (The one who beats)", "place of beating" and "types of beating" "determines the scope of "beating" and each of the mentioned components limit its boundaries in a way. The component of "goal", with "discipline" and "punishment", the component of "mazroub" with "divine rebellion", the component of "Zarib", with "beating out of love" and the component of "place of beating", with "applying it in private" are limited.
