  • Are Women Less Intelligent Than Men?

    Posted by Amara Khondekar on March 24, 2022 at 12:43 am

    Abu Sa`id al-Khudri relates [1] (may Allah be pleased with him):

    Allah’s Messenger went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) of ‘Eid . Then he passed by the women and said, “O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the you are the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire.”

    They asked, “Why is it so, O Messenger of Allah?” He replied, “You curse frequently and deny the reminiscent good.”

    He said, “I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you.”

    The women asked, “O Allah’s Messenger, what is deficient in our intelligence and religion?”

    He said, “Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?” They replied in the affirmative. He said, “This is the deficiency in her intelligence.”

    He said, “Isn’t it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during menses?” The women replied in the affirmative. He said, “This is the deficiency in her religion.”

    Can you please explain this?
