Seeking Islamic Guidance on the Sin of a Father Hitting His Daughter

Assalamu alaikum, I'm looking for specific hadith or Quranic verses that address a father physically harming his daughter. I'm not talking about the verse on lightly tapping children for prayer. I need evidence that shows a father he's sinful and wrong in Allah's eyes for beating his daughter-leaving bruises, punching, kicking, slapping, choking, using objects, threatening. This is done out of anger and cruelty, not as any form of discipline (and even then, physical abuse is never okay). Please help me out. JazakAllah khair!

Sis, there's no specific ayah about fathers hitting daughters, but the general rule is no harm. Prophet (saw) said 'la darar wa la dirar' – no harming or reciprocating harm. This is clear abuse, not discipline. May Allah protect you.

No excuse for this ever. The Quran says 'and do not kill your children' – scholars extend this to any severe harm. This isn't disciplining, it's abuse and anger. He needs serious help and you need safety. Do you have a local imam or support?

Astaghfirullah, this makes me cry. The Prophet (saw) hugged and played with his daughter Fatima, he never raised his hand. Any man who does this forgets the mercy Islam teaches. He's not following the sunnah at all and is sinful.

Ya Allah, this breaks my heart. The Prophet (saw) never hit a woman or child. He said the best of you are best to their families. A father who does this is completely missing the sunnah. Stay strong, ukhti.

Ugh this is just cruel. There's a hadith: 'Fear Allah regarding women, for you have taken them as a trust.' Daughters are an even greater amanah. He will answer for every bruise.

Sis, I'm so sorry. There's a verse: 'And live with them in kindness' (4:19) – though about wives, the principle applies to all family. Also, the hadith: 'He is not of us who does not show mercy to our young.' He's going against that deeply.
