{ وَقَرۡنَ فِی بُیُوتِكُنَّ}
"Remain in your homes."
[Surah Al-Aḥzāb: 33] - Unless there's a need.
The Prophet ﷺ said: "When a woman leaves her home, Shaytan seeks to tempt her/tempt others by way of her." This applies whether she is going to school, the market, or elsewhere.

8. A chatty woman is a turn off

Hitting a child should be the final recourse in discipline
Sheikh Faiṣal Al-Ḥāshidi ḥafidhahullāh said:
«الضرب غير المبرح للطفل عند الحاجة جائز، لكن اجعله الوسيلة الأخيرة في العقاب؛ حتى لا يفقد الضرب مفعوليته والمربي هيبته؛ لأن تعود الطفل على الضرب عند كل خطأ لن يصبح له تأثيرًا، ولن تفلح معه بقية الوسائل كالهجر، والحرمان والزجر والعبوس، وغيرها من العقوبات النفسية»
"Non-severe physical discipline may be permissible when necessary, but it should be used as a last resort.…

[At-Tibyān fī Aymān Al-Qur'ān, p. 545.]

I used to be strongly opposed to polygyny. If I heard that a man married a second wife, I would, without realising it, curse him and say, "If I were in her place, I would…

So they came to his wife and gave her a gift and asked her to…
