Istifta 182 — Interaction in social life

A father hits his child severely that it leaves blue or red marks on his skin—is it obligatory upon the father to pay indemnity for bodily injury? Is the rule different if the person who hit the child was not his father?
Answer
The indemnity is obligatory upon the one who hits [in the way described above], regardless of whether he is the father or someone else.
