Sara Ege, 33, denies beating to death Yaseen Ali Ege at their home in Pontcanna, Cardiff, driven by a desire for him to memorise the Koran.
Jurors at Cardiff Crown Court are also considering the case against his father Yousuf Ege, 38, who denies causing his death by failing to protect him.
The jury will return on Monday.
Mrs Ege is accused of hitting her son "like a dog" with a stick.
The court has heard that the beatings were so brutal that Yaseen died in July 2010 from his injuries and a fire was started to burn his body and destroy evidence.
