  • Clarification On The Hadith Related To Women Being Less Intelligent Than Men

    Posted by Zakir Hossain on September 8, 2025 at 1:58 pm

    Dr Shezad Saleem in one of his videos mentioned that the Arabic words “نَاقِصَاتِ عَقْلٍ وَدِينٍ” in a Hadith by Abu Said Al-Khudri means “concession in respect to worldly affairs and Deen”. The words “نَاقِصَ” and “عَقْلٍ” have been translated as “concession” and “worldly affairs”. Ghamidi Sb has always maintained that, while understanding the Quran and Hadith we have to first understand the popular meaning of the word and then understand the context of the same.
    My question is, if the more popular meaning of the words do not fit in the context, does the meaning of the Arabic words here, provided by Dr Saleem are as per instances of the same available in Arabic literature elsewhere or in the dictionary? Are there any references or examples from Arabic literature or the dictionary which suggests the meaning of these words as mentioned by Dr. Saleem?
