Is it true that Islam allows a husband to hit his wife? What does an-Nisa' 4:34 really mean?

No — Islam does not allow a husband to injure, hurt or abuse his wife; verse 4:34 is placed within very strict limits.
This verse mentions three steps for manifest nushuz: advice, separating beds, then darb. Classical scholars set conditions: it is a last resort, only if expected to be effective; it may not cause pain, leave a mark or touch the face; Ibn 'Abbas described it as with a tooth-stick (siwak) — symbolic in nature. The Prophet ﷺ said "a blow that does not injure" (ghayra mubarrih), and censured a husband who beats his wife and then sleeps with her. Imam al-Shafi'i held that refraining from it is better. Most importantly: the Prophet ﷺ never struck a single woman (Sahih Muslim 2328). Any injury is wrongdoing, forbidden, and a criminal offence in Malaysia. If you are hit, call the police 999, Talian Kasih 15999. See Nushuz & conflict.
Difference between schools. All four schools require that any striking must not injure; many Shafi'i and other scholars state that refraining from it is better, following the example of the Prophet ﷺ.
