Therapist, Khaled Al-Saqaby, in a video posted on YouTube, says he is "aware that this issue (wife beating) is a thorny one, which contains many hazards. But Allah willing, we will cross this bridge safely."
Stressing that "the necessary Islamic conditions for (wife) beating must be met", Mr Al Saqaby suggests, the aim of beating a wife "is to discipline, not to vent one's anger".
In the video, Mr Al-Saqaby suggests the aim of beating a wife "is to discipline, not to vent one's anger".
"The family therapist suggests the beating should not be performed with a rod or sharp object, but instead "something like the sewak tooth-cleaning twig - or with a handkerchief".
Explaining the motive behind beating a wife, he says: "Because the goal is merely to make the wife feel that she was wrong in the way she treated her husband."
Before beating one's wife, Mr Al-Saqaby suggests a husband reminds her of "your rights and of her duties, according to Allah".
"Unfortunately, some wives want to live a life of equality with their husband," he says, stressing that this was the main reasons a man may beat his wife.
"This is a very grave problem," he added.
He also says he is "sad to say" some women provoke their husbands to beat them.
