Anni time of the day: Muhammad said that flogging wives is okay. And flogging slaves is okay. But having sex with wives after flogging them like a slave is going too far.
Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 7, Book of Marriage, Hadith 132
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Zam’a:
The Prophet ﷺ said, “None of you should flog his wife as he flogs a slave and then have sexual intercourse with her in the last part of the day.”
