Under sharia law, children who have not reached puberty cannot be punished for serious crimes like murder, theft, fornication, apostasy, etc. Only a person considered old enough to think for him- or herself can be killed, mutilated, flogged, etc.

However, children can be punished by their parents. Muhammad taught that ten-year-olds who do not say the Islamic prayers should be beaten.

Note that Islam has no concept of adolescence. People are either children or adults. Once a person reaches physical puberty, he or she is an adult. People over 15 years are usually assumed to be adults even if they have not reached puberty. So people who are legally children in Western societies can be punished as adults under the sharia.

What religion should the kids follow if a Muslim man gets the kids from a Christian wife?

This is one of the issues that should be agreed upon before marriage. According to Islamic law, the kids should be raised up on Islam religion. When they reach puberty and and after being independent, they can make their own choice and hold responsible of their choice. The Islam Golden rule is that "No compulsion in religion".The reason that the kids should be raised up as Muslims is that Muslims believe in all God prophets (including Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad) and believe in all God holy books (including Torah, the Bible, and Quran) while Christians and Jews, generally, don't believe in Muhammad as prophet and don't believe in the Quran as God holy book. So, from this point Islam religion is more tolerant.AnswerInstall both of your beliefs in the children, and when they get older; let them chose what to believe. AnswerThe kids should be raised on Islam religion (Islam is an Arabic word that means submission to God). then, when they reach Puberty they have the right to make their own choice as either to continue on Islam religion or to convert out of Islam. The kids being raised up on Islam means, per religion, that they believe in Jesus as prophet and they believe in the Bible as God holy book. However, if raised up on Christianity it means they deny Islam as a religion, Muhammad as a prophet, and the Quran as God holy book. AnswerAccording to Islamic laws, there should be a clear agreement before marriage that the children should be Muslim. There are no restriction from the christian side.
