LADIES ENCOURAGED TO BE CHARITABLE

1932

“O ladies, give charity and be diligent in seeking forgiveness because I have seen the majority among you are the inhabitants of the Fire.

One of the ladies asked, ‘What causes us to be the majority among the inhabitants of the Fire?’ He answered, ‘You curse a lot and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have never seen lesser in brain and Religion that can overpower the owner of a brain than you.’

She asked, ‘What is the deficiency in intelligence and matters of Religion that we suffer from?’ He replied, ‘The evidence of two women is equal to that of one man, and a woman cannot pray during her monthly courses.’"

Muslim with a chain up to ibn Omar who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
