In an instant the contents of the lecture raised a lot of criticism from the circles. net citizen ,@erichaaga. What do you mean by normalizing domestic violence? After all, if domestic violence is already a red flag, it's really bad. There is no justification whatsoever for someone to mess with .@zulfa_richa. Not more love but more arbitrarily. What if it goes on? Beaten wife. Not to mention if the child accidentally sees it, the more you think about what the parents saw, the father hitting the mother is normal

A young figure from Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and a lecturer at Monash University Australia, Nadirsyah Hosen, made sharp comments on Twitter.

"Tell the ustadzah, if a husband beats his wife it's actually not a disgrace that must be covered by the wife. That's domestic violence. Have to report to the police. Stories like this actually make the wife forced to accept the behavior of her husband who is a jerk in the name of guarding her husband's disgrace. Your wife is not a boxing sansak woy!" tweeted Nadirsyah, who is usually called Gus Nadir.

"If a husband beats his wife, it's called domestic violence. It's a crime," he explained, Thursday, February 3, 2022.

According to this young politician, what Oki did included legalizing domestic violence.

"Please don't normalize violence in the name of covering up disgrace! A good marriage is loving, not one that encourages violence,"

Quoting the words of Gus Nadir, although there are some husband's disgrace that should be covered up, they are only trivial and odd things.

"According to Gus Prof @nadirsyahhosen_official, the disgrace of a husband who must be covered by his wife likes to snore, likes to pick his nose, or is a MU fan. NOT domestic violence, friends!," he concluded.

Islam Forbids Domestic Violence

Islamic doctrine teaches that Muslims are prohibited from revealing the disgrace of their fellow brothers. The meaning of disgrace then experienced different interpretations by Muslims. Conflicts that occur in domestic life are considered a disgrace that should not be published. It is this paradigm that ultimately makes the ulama unable to provide solutions to the problem of domestic violence. Because many Muslims choose to hide the problem.

When a husband commits domestic violence, can his wife protest against it? Especially if you use a religious pretext even though the Prophet Muhammad never did it. The scholars agree that the law processes when a husband commits domestic violence to his wife, it is permissible, even it is recommended as a place to remind each other.

Imam Al-Ghazali in the book Al-Adab fi Din explains, one of the manners of a husband to his wife is not to do rude acts, both verbally and in action. Not only that, the husband also has the right to give his wife the space to express opinions or submit aspirations for the actions taken by her husband. Husbands are also advised not to always argue with their wives and instead need to respect their wives' opinions.

From Iyas bin Abdillah bin Abdi Dzubab, Rasulullah SAW gave the command: do not hit women. But Umar came to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) reporting that many women were disobedient to their husbands."

"So the Prophet (SAW) gave lightening by allowing the blow. Then (as a result of the relief) many women came around the Prophet's family to complain about their husbands. So the Messenger of Allah reiterated: Has come around the family of Muhammad, many women complain about (the practice of beating) husbands, they are not good people among you."

This hadith was narrated by Imam Abu Dawud and Imam Ibn Majah. He explained that this hadith is one version that records the tension at the time of the Prophet Muhammad between the interests of men who want to control and discipline women and the interests of women who refuse to be the butt of men's violent practices against them.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) forbade beatings, but the men objected not being able to discipline women. But then many women came to the Prophet and protested, the Prophet listened to their protests.

Based on this hadith, it is explained that both men and women can take lessons and lessons from what the Prophet decreed. Women also have the right to protection.

Islam has proven to be a progressive and modern religion that embraces the rights of every servant. In this case of domestic violence, the Prophet emphasized that the role of Islam is as a religion of goodness, benefit, and freedom from violence and evil. Thus, these values should actually be implemented by both men and women.
