A check

Somebody quotes the report about children and prayer at you as proof that hitting children is recommended. What is the honest response on this course?

Tell them the report is weakAgree, because it is a sound reportSay that the report is not weak, that how it is read is contested among scholars, and that you are taking that question to a scholar rather than settling it in a kitchenRefuse to discuss any hadith on the subject
Yes

Calling it weak would be untrue, and the audience who needs this course would spot it immediately and stop trusting anything else here. Agreeing that it settles the general question would be equally dishonest, because what it covers and what conditions attach to it are exactly what is disputed. Naming the dispute, declining to settle it, and routing it to a scholar is both accurate and the only move a course is entitled to make.
