Call in two male witnesses from among you, but if two men cannot be found,
then one man and two women whom you judge fit to act as witnesses.
Allah directs you in regard of your Childrens (inheritance): to the male,
a portion equal to that of two females
. These are settled portions ordained by
Allah.
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: The Prophet said, "Isn't the witness of a
women equal to half that of a man?" The women said "yes". He
said "This is because of the deficiency of the women's mind."
O womenfolk, you should ask for forgiveness for I saw you in bulk amongst
the dwellers of Hell. A wise lady said: Why is it, Allahs Apostle, that women
comprise the bulk of the inhabitants of Hell? The Prophet observed: You curse
too much and are ungrateful to your spouses. You lack common sense, fail in
religion and rob the wisdom of the wise. Upon this the woman remarked: What is
wrong with our common sense? The Prophet replied, Your lack of common sense
can be determined from the fact that the evidence of two women is equal to
one man. That is a proof.
And now, people, you acquire certain rights over your wives, and they do
you. The right you acquire over them is that they should not let someone you
hate sleep in your beds, and not to commit a manifest obscenity [or adultery]. If they do [commit it], then God has given you permission to leave
them alone in their beds and give them a beating, though not too hard.
If they give over, they get their provision and clothing with kindness; I
command you good-will for your wives, for they are your captives(1)
that do not own anything of their own. You have taken them by the faithfulness
of God, and made their sexual organs lawful for you by the words of God."[1]
The Muslims said among themselves, Will Safiyah be
one of the Prophets wives or just a lady captive and one of his possessions?
From the captives of Hunayn, Allahs Messenger gave [his son-in-law] Ali a
slave girl called Baytab and he gave [future Caliph] Uthman a slave girl called
Zaynab and [future Caliph] Umar another.
Ishaq:593
Narrated 'Aisha: The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before
me. They said, "Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman (if they
pass in front of the praying people)." I said, "You have made us
(i.e. women) dogs. I saw the Prophet praying while I used to lie in my bed
between him and the Qibla. Whenever I was in need of something, I would slip
away. for I disliked to face him."
Narrated 'Aisha: The things which annual prayer were
mentioned before me (and those were): a dog, a donkey and a woman. I said, "You
have compared us (women) to donkeys and dogs. By Allah! I saw the Prophet
praying while I used to lie in (my) bed between him and the Qibla. Whenever I
was in need of something, I disliked to sit and trouble
the Prophet. So, I would slip away by the side of his feet."

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Ikrimah reported on the authority of Ibn
Abbas, saying: I think the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) said: When one
of you prays without a sutrah, a dog, an ass, a pig, a Jew, a Magian, and a
woman cut off his prayer, but it will suffice if they pass in front of him at a
distance of over a stone's throw.
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: When I got married, Allah's Apostle said to
me, "What type of lady have you married?" I replied, "I have
married a matron' He said, "Why, don't you have a liking for the virgins
and for fondling them?" Jabir also said: Allah's Apostle said, "Why didn't you marry a young girl so that you might play
with her and she with you?'
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: A woman was my wife and I loved her, but Umar
hated her. He said to me: Divorce her, but I refused. Umar then went to the
Prophet (peace be upon him) and mentioned that to him. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Divorce her.
YUSUFALI:
They ask thee concerning women's courses. Say: They are a hurt and a pollution: So keep away from women in their courses,
and do not approach them until they are clean. But when they have purified
themselves, ye may approach them in any manner, time, or place ordained for
you by Allah. For Allah loves those who turn to Him
constantly and He loves those who keep themselves pure and clean.
PICKTHAL:
They question thee (O Muhammad) concerning menstruation. Say: It is an
illness, so let women alone at such times and go not in unto them till they
are cleansed. And when they have purified themselves, then go in unto them as
Allah hath enjoined upon you. Truly Allah loveth those who turn unto Him, and
loveth those who have a care for cleanness.
SHAKIR: And they ask you about menstruation. Say: It is a discomfort;
therefore keep aloof from the women during the menstrual discharge and do not
go near them until they have become clean; then when they have cleansed
themselves, go in to them as Allah has commanded you; surely Allah loves
those who turn much (to Him), and He loves those who purify themselves.
Narrated Anas bin Malik
The Prophet had a Had (a camel driver) called Anjasha,
and he had a nice voice. The Prophet said to him, "(Drive) slowly, O
Anjasha! Do not break the glass vessels!" And Qatada said, "(By
vessels') he meant the weak women."

"Allah said,It is My obligation to make Eve
bleed once every month as she made this tree bleed.
Tabari I:280
And it is for the women to act as they (the husbands) act by them, in all
fairness; but the men are a step above them.
Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to
excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of
women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret
that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion,
admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they
obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.
Allah said, It is My obligation to make Eve
bleed once every month as she made this tree bleed. I must also make Eve
stupid, although I created her intelligent. Because Allah afflicted Eve, all
of the women of this world menstruate and are stupid.
Al-Tabari 1:280
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: The Prophet said, "Isn't the witness of a
woman equal to half of that of a man?" The women said, "Yes." He
said, "This is because of the deficiency of a woman's mind."
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: Once Allah's Apostle went out to the Musalla (to
offer the prayer) o 'Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women
and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the
dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O
Allah's Apostle ?" He replied, "You
curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. 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
Apostle! 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. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her
menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the
deficiency in her religion."
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri On 'Id ul Fitr or 'Id
ul Adha Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) went out to the Musalla. After finishing the prayer, he delivered
the sermon and ordered the people to give alms. He said, "O people! Give
alms." Then he went towards the women and said. "O women! Give alms,
for I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-Fire were you
(women)." The women asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is the reason for
it?" He replied, "O women! You curse frequently, and are ungrateful
to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and
religion than you. O women, some of you can lead a cautious wise man astray."
Then he left. And when he reached his house, Zainab, the wife of Ibn Masud,
came and asked permission to enter It was said,
"O Allah's Apostle! It is Zainab." He asked, 'Which Zainab?" The
reply was that she was the wife of Ibn Mas'ub. He said, "Yes, allow her to
enter." And she was admitted. Then she said, "O Prophet of Allah!
Today you ordered people to give alms and I had an ornament and intended to
give it as alms, but Ibn Masud said that he and his children deserved it more
than anybody else." The Prophet replied, "Ibn Masud had spoken the
truth. Your husband and your children had more right to it than anybody
else."
Men are the ones that should be in charge of women because some have been
favoured more than others.
Abu Bakr Ibn `Ali
al-Jassas, Ahkam al-Qur'an (
Ali reported the Prophet saying: 'Women have ten ('awrat). When she gets
married, the husband covers one, and when she dies the grave covers the ten.
Kanz-el-'Ummal, Vol. 22,
Hadith No. 858
The woman is 'awrah. When she goes outside (the house), the devil welcomes
her.[2]
A woman is closest to God's face, if she is found in the core of her house.
And the prayer of the woman in the house is better than her prayer in the
mosque.[3]
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet said: "I was shown the Hell-fire and
that the majority of its dwellers were women who were ungrateful." It was
asked, "Do they disbelieve in Allah?" (or
are they ungrateful to Allah?) He replied, "They are ungrateful to their
husbands and are ungrateful for the favors and the good (charitable deeds) done
to them. If you have always been good (benevolent) to one of them and then she
sees something in you (not of her liking), she will say, 'I have never received
any good from you."
Omar [one of the Khalifs] was once talking when his wife interjected, so he
said to her: 'You are a toy, if you are needed we will
call you.'
Al-Musanaf Vol. 1 Part 2,
p. 263
[Mohammad said] The woman is a toy, whoever takes her let him care for her
(or do not lose her)[4]
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The woman is like a rib;
if you try to straighten her, she will break. So if you want to get benefit
from her, do so while she still has some crookedness."
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Whoever believes in Allah and
the Last Day should not hurt (trouble) his neighbor. And I advise you to take
care of the women, for they are created from a rib and the most crooked portion
of the rib is its upper part; if you try to straighten it, it will break, and
if you leave it, it will remain crooked, so I urge you to take care of the
women."
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah 's Apostle said, "Treat women nicely, for
a women is created from a rib, and the most curved portion of the rib is its
upper portion, so, if you should try to straighten it, it will break, but if
you leave it as it is, it will remain crooked. So treat women nicely."
AbuHuraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Woman is like a rib. When
you attempt to straighten it, you would break it. And if you leave her alone
you would benefit by her, and crookedness will remain in her. A hadith like
this is reported by another chain of narrators

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Woman has been created from a rib and will in no way be straightened for you;
so if you wish to benefit by her, benefit by her while crookedness remains in
her. And if you attempt to straighten her, you will break her, and breaking her
is divorcing her.

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported
Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: He who believes in Allah and
the Hereafter, if he witnesses any matter he should talk in good terms about it
or keep quiet. Act kindly towards woman, for woman is created from a rib, and
the most crooked part of the rib is its top. If you attempt to straighten it,
you will break it, and if you leave it, its crookedness will remain there. So act
kindly towards women.

Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach
your tilth when or how ye will; but do some good act for your souls beforehand; and fear Allah. And know
that ye are to meet Him (in the Hereafter), and give (these) good tidings to
those who believe.
Narrated Mu'awiyah ibn Haydah: I said: Apostle of Allah, how should we
approach our wives and how should we leave them? He replied: Approach your
tilth when or how you will, give her (your wife) food when you take food,
clothe when you clothe yourself, do not revile her face, and do not beat her.
Jabir reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) saw a woman, and so he came to his wife, Zainab, as she was
tanning a leather and had sexual intercourse with her. He then went to his
Companions and told them: The woman advances and retires in the shape of a devil,
so when one of you sees a woman, he should come to his wife, for that will
repel what he feels in his heart.
When a woman comes she comes in the form of a devil.[5]
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: I heard the Prophet saying. "Evil omen
is in three things: The horse, the woman and the house."
Narrated Sahl bin Sad Saidi: "Allah's Apostle said "If there is
any evil omen in anything, then it is in the woman, the horse and the
house."
The Prophet said, But for the Israelis, meat would not decay, and if it
were not for Eve, wives would never betray their husbands.

Narrated 'Aisha: We set out with the Prophet for Hajj and when we reached
Sarif I got my menses. When the Prophet came to me, I was weeping. He asked,
"Why are you weeping?" I said, "I wish if I had not performed
Hajj this year." He asked, "May be that you got your menses?" I
replied, "Yes." He then said, "This is the thing which Allah has
ordained for all the daughters of Adam. So do what all the pilgrims do except
that you do not perform the Tawaf round the Ka'ba till you are clean."
Narrated 'Aisha: The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before
me. They said, "Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman (if

to prostrate before their husbands on account of men's rights over the women

The prophet of Allah said: When a man calls his wife to satisfy his desire,
let her come to him though she is occupied at the oven.

I, Section 'Duties of husband and wife', Hadith No. 61
And those who preserve their chastity
Save with their wives and those whom their right
hands possess, for thus they are not blameworthy;
For if a man purchases a slave girl, the purchase contract includes his
right to have sex with her.[6]
This contract is primarily to own her and secondarily to enjoy her sexually.[7]
"Abu Said al-Khudri said : The Apostle
of Allah (may peace be upon him) sent a military expedition to Awtas on the
occasion of the battle of Hunain. They met their enemy and fought with them.
They defeated them and took them captives. Some of the Companions of the
Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) were
reluctant to have intercourse with the female captives in the presence of their
husbands who were unbelievers. So Allah, the Exalted, sent down the Quranic
verse: (Sura 4:24) "And all married women (are forbidden) unto you save
those (captives) whom your right hands possess." That is to say, they are
lawful for them when they complete their waiting period.(1479)"
Abu Dawud vol.2 no.2150
Salamah was given a captive girl and had not yet "untied her
garment" Mohammed took the woman from Salamah and gave her to the Meccans

Narrated Ruwayfi' ibn Thabit al-Ansari: Should I tell you what I heard the
Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) say on the day of Hunayn: It is not lawful
for a man who believes in Allah and the last day to water what another has sown
with his water (meaning intercourse with women who are pregnant); it is not
lawful for a man who believes in Allah and the Last Day to have intercourse
with a captive woman till she is free from a menstrual course; and it is
not lawful for a man who believes in Allah and the Last Day to sell spoil till
it is divided.
Abu
Dawud 11:2153 , See Also Abu Dawud vol.2 no.2154
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
If one of you marries a woman or buys a slave, he should say: "O Allah,
I ask Thee for the good in her, and in the disposition Thou hast given her; I
take refuge in Thee from the evil in her, and in the disposition Thou hast
given her." When he buys a camel, he should take hold of the top of its
hump and say the same kind of thing.
Narrated Mu'awiyah ibn Haydah: I said: Apostle of Allah, from whom should
we conceal our private parts and to whom can we show? He replied: conceal your
private parts except from your wife and from whom your right hands possess
(slave-girls)...
Ata said, There is no harm in fondling with ones pregnant (1) slave-girl
without having sexual intercourse with her. Allah said: Except with their
wives and the (women captives) whom their right hands possess (for in this case
they are not to be blamed)." Footnote (1) says, "Pregnant from
another man, not her present master."
Sahih Bukhari vol.3

"Narrated Ibn Muhairiz: I entered the Mosque and saw Abu Said
Al-Khudri and sat beside him and asked him about Al-Azl (i.e. coitus
interruptus). Abu Saiid said, We went out with Allahs Apostle for the Ghazwa
[battle] of Banu Al-Mustaliq and we received captives from among the Arab
captives and we desired women and celibacy became hard on us and we loved to do
coitus interruptus. So when we intended to do coitus interruptus, we said, How
can we do coitus interrupts before asking Allahs Apostle who is present among
us? We asked (him) about it and he said, It is better for you not to do so,
for if any soul till the Day of Resurrection is predestined to exist, it will
exist."
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: That while he was sitting with the Prophet a
man from the Ansar came and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We get slave girls from
the war captives and we love property; what do you think about coitus
interruptus?" Allah's Apostle said, "Do you do that? It is better for
you not to do it, for there is no soul which Allah has ordained to come into
existence but will be created."

Sa'id, did you hear Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) mentioning al-'azl? He said: Yes, and added: We went out with Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the expedition to
the Bi'l- Mustaliq and took captive some excellent Arab women; and we desired
them, for we were suffering from the absence of our wives, (but at the same
time) we also desired ransom for them. So we decided to have sexual intercourse
with them but by observing 'azl (Withdrawing the male sexual organ before
emission of semen to avoid conception). But we said: We are doing an act
whereas Allah's Messenger is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him), and he said: It does not matter if you do
not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection will
be born.

Kanz- el-'Ummal, Volume
22, Hadith Number 868
If a woman offered one of her breasts to be cooked and the other to be
roasted, she still will fall short of fulfilling her obligations to her
husband. And besides that if she disobeys her husband even for a twinkling of
an eye, she would be thrown in the lowest part of Hell, except she repents and
turns back.[8]
If blood, suppuration, and pus, were to pour from the husband's nose and
the wife licked it with her tongue, she would still never be able to fulfil his
rights over her.[9]
If you fear you can not treat orphans (girls) with fairness, then you may
marry other women who seem good to you: two, three or four of them. But if you
fear that you can not maintain equality among them, marry only one or any slave
girls you may own, that will be more suitable. And give the women their dower
as a free gift; but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it
to you, eat it with enjoyment, take it with right good cheer and absorb it (in
your wealth).

and will not give permission unless 'Ali bin Abi Talib divorces my daughter in
order to marry their daughter, because Fatima is a part of my body, and I hate
what she hates to see, and what hurts her, hurts me."

Who so gives two handfuls of flour or dates as dowry of his wife has
rendered [her] (private parts) lawful. [10]
If a man has sex with a married woman, by mistake, thinking her to be his
wife, he must give her a dowry equal to the dowry given to a woman of her
social worth. This dowry becomes the property of the wife and not her husband.[11]
Narrated Abu Haraira: Allah's Apostle said, "A lady slave should not
be given in marriage until she is consulted, and a virgin should not be given
in marriage until her permission is granted." The people said, "How
will she express her permission?" The Prophet said, "By keeping
silent (when asked her consent)." Some people said, "If a man, by
playing a trick, presents two false witnesses before the judge to testify that
he has married a matron with her consent and the judge confirms his marriage,
and the husband is sure that he has never married her (before), then such a
marriage will be considered as a legal one and he may live with her as
husband."

"Yes." I said, "A virgin, if asked, feels shy and keeps
quiet." He said, "Her silence means her consent."
YUSUFALI:
Do not marry unbelieving women (idolaters), until they believe: A slave woman
who believes is better than an unbelieving woman, even though she allures you.
Nor marry (your girls) to unbelievers until they believe: A man slave who
believes is better than an unbeliever, even though he allures you. Unbelievers
do (but) beckon you to the Fire. But Allah beckons by His Grace to the Garden
(of bliss) and forgiveness, and makes His Signs clear to mankind: That they may
celebrate His praise.

give not your daughters in marriage to idolaters till they believe, for lo! a believing slave is better than an idolater though he
please you. These invite unto the Fire, and Allah inviteth unto the Garden, and unto forgiveness by His grace, and expoundeth
His revelations to mankind that haply they may remember.
SHAKIR: And do not marry the idolatresses until they believe, and certainly
a believing maid is better than an idolatress woman, even though she should
please you; and do not give (believing women) in marriage to idolaters until
they believe, and certainly a believing servant is better than an idolater, even
though he should please you; these invite to the fire, and Allah invites to the
garden and to forgiveness by His will, and makes clear His communications to
men, that they may be mindful.
O Messenger of Allah ! What right has the
wife of one among us got over him?' He said: 'It is that you shall give her
food when you have taken your food, that you shall clothe her when you have clothed yourself, that you shall not slap her on the
face, nor revile her, nor desert her except within the house.
Sunan Ibn Magah, Kitab
al-Nikah, Hadith No. 1850.
Hakim b. Mu`awiya al-Qushairi quoted his father as telling that he asked,
"Messenger of God, what right can any wife demand of her husband?" He
replied, "That you should give her food to eat, clothe her when you clothe
yourself, not strike her on the face, and do not revile her or seperate from
her except in the house." Ahmad, Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah transmitted it.
Mishkat Al-Masabih:
Volume 2, page 691
Narrated Mu'awiyah al-Qushayri: Mu'awiyah asked: Apostle of Allah, what is
the right of the wife of one of us over him? He replied: That you should give
her food when you eat, clothe her when you clothe yourself, do not strike her on
the face, do not revile her or separate yourself from her except in the
house.
Narrated Mu'awiyah ibn Haydah: I said: Apostle of Allah, how should we
approach our wives and how should we leave them? He replied: Approach your
tilth when or how you will, give her (your wife) food when you take food,
clothe when you clothe yourself, do not revile her face, and do not beat her.
Narrated Mu'awiyah al-Qushayri: I went to the Apostle of Allah (peace be
upon him) and asked him: What do you say (command) about our wives? He replied:
Give them food what you have for yourself, and clothe them by which you clothe
yourself, and do not beat them, and do not revile them.
A wife cannot fast extra, or
allow someone to enter their home without her husbands permission.
Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri: A woman came to the Prophet (peace be upon him)
while we were with him. She said: Apostle of Allah, my husband, Safwan ibn
al-Mu'attal, beats me when I pray, and makes me break my fast when I keep a
fast, and he does not offer the dawn prayer until the sun rises. He asked
Safwan, who was present, about what she had said. He replied: Apostle of Allah,
as for her statement "he beats me when I pray", she recites two
surahs (during prayer) and I have prohibited her (to do so). He (the Prophet)
said: If one surah is recited (during prayer), that is sufficient for the
people.(Safwan continued:) As regards her saying
"he makes me break my fast," she dotes on fasting; I am a young man,
I cannot restrain myself. The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) said on that
day: A woman should not fast except with the permission of her husband.(Safwan said:) As for her statement that I do not pray
until the sun rises, we are a people belonging to a class, and that (our
profession of supplying water) is already known about us. We do not awake until
the sun rises. He said: When you awake, offer your prayer

fast a day of Ramadan, while her husband is there, without his prior
permission.' "

Narrated Ibn Abbas: That he heard the Prophet saying, "It is not
permissible for a man to be alone with a woman, and no lady should travel
except with a Muhram (i.e. her husband or a person whom she cannot marry in any
case for ever; e.g. her father, brother, etc.)." Then a man got up and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have enlisted in the army for such-and-such
Ghazwa and my wife is proceeding for Hajj." Allah's Apostle said,
"Go, and perform the Hajj with your wife."
Narrated Um Salama: A woman was bereaved of her husband and her relatives
worried about her eyes (which were diseased). They came to Allah's Apostle, and
asked him to allow them to treat her eyes with kohl, but he said, "She
should not apply kohl to her eyes. (In the Pre-Islamic period of Ignorance) a
widowed woman among you would stay in the worst of her clothes (or the worst
part of her house) and when a year had elapsed, if a dog passed by her, she
would throw a globe of dung, Nay, (she cannot use kohl) till four months and
ten days have elapsed." Narrated Um Habiba: The Prophet said, "It is
not lawful for a Muslim woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn
for more than three days, except for her husband, for whom she should mourn for
four months and ten days."

permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travel for
one day and night except with a Mahram."
Narrated Asma: (the daughter of Abu' Bakr) A woman came to Allah's Apostle
and said, "I married my daughter to someone, but she became sick and all
her hair fell out, and (because of that) her husband does not like her. May I
let her use false hair?" On that the Prophet cursed such a lady as
artificially lengthening (her or someone else's) hair or got her hair
lengthened artificially.
Narrated Asma: (the daughter of Abu Bakr) Allah's Apostle has cursed such a
lady as artificially lengthening (her or someone else's) hair or gets her hair
lengthened.
Narrated Ibn Umar: Allah's Apostle said, "Allah has cursed such a lady
as lengthens (her or someone else's) hair artificially or gets it lengthened,
and also a lady who tattoos (herself or someone else) or gets herself tattooed.
Narrated Ibn 'Umar : The Prophet has cursed the lady who lengthens her
hair artificially and the one who gets her hair lengthened, and also the lady
who tattoos (herself or others) and the one who gets herself tattooed.
Narrated Asma': A woman asked the Prophet saying, "0 Allah's Apostle!
My daughter got measles and her hair fell out. Now that I got her married, may
I let her use false hair?" He said (to her), "Allah has cursed the
lady who lengthens hair artificially and the one who gets her hair lengthened
artificially."
Narrated Ibn 'Umar : I heard the Prophet
saying, (or the Prophet said), "Allah has cursed the lady who practices
tattooing and that who gets it done for herself, and also the lady who
lengthens hair artificially and that who gets her hair lengthened
artificially." The Prophet has cursed such ladies.
Narrated Ibn Mas'ud: Allah has cursed those women who practise tattooing or
get it done for themselves, and those who remove hair
from their faces, and those who create spaces between their teeth artificially
to look beautiful, such ladies as change the features created by Allah. Why
then shall I not curse those whom Allah's Apostle has cursed and who are cursed
in Allah's Book too?
Narrated Abu Huraira : Allah's Apostle said,
"The evil eye is a fact," and he forbade tattooing.
Narrated Abu Juhaifa: The Prophet forbade the use of the price of blood and
the price of a dog, the one who takes (eats) usury the one who gives usury, the
woman who practises tattooing and the woman who gets herself tattooed.
Narrated Abu Huraira : A woman who used to
practise tattooing was brought to 'Umar. 'Umar got up and said, "I beseech
you by Allah, which of you heard the Prophet saying something about
tattooing?" l got up and said, "0 chief of the Believers! l heard something." He said, "What did you
hear?" I said, "I heard the Prophet (addressing the ladies), saying,
'Do not practise tattooing and do not get yourselves
tattooed.'"
Narrated Ibn 'Umar : The Prophet has cursed the lady who lengthens
hair artificially and that who gets her hair lengthened in such away, and the
lady who practises tattooing and that who gets it done for herself.
Narrated 'Abdullah : Allah has cursed those women who practise
tattooing and those who get it done for themselves, and those who remove hair
from their faces, and those who artificially create spaces between their teeth
to look beautiful, such women as alter the features created by Allah. Why
should I not then curse those whom Allah's Apostle has cursed and that is in
Allah's Book?

"If the wife of any one of you ask permission
to go to the mosque, he should not forbid her."
Bukhari, Nikah 116
Narrated 'Ikrima: Rifa'a divorced his wife whereupon 'AbdurRahman bin
Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. 'Aisha said that the lady (came), wearing a green
veil (and complained to her (Aisha) of her husband and showed her a green
spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each
other, so when Allah's Apostle came, 'Aisha said, "I have not seen
any woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener
than her clothes!" When 'AbdurRahman heard that his
wife had gone to the Prophet, he came with his two sons from another wife.
She said, "By Allah! I have done no wrong to him but he is impotent and is
as useless to me as this," holding and showing the fringe of her garment,
'Abdur-Rahman said, "By Allah, O Allah's Apostle! She has told a lie! I am
very strong and can satisfy her but she is disobedient and wants to go back to
Rifa'a." Allah's Apostle said, to her, "If that is your intention,
then know that it is unlawful for you to remarry Rifa'a unless Abdur-Rahman has
had sexual intercourse with you." Then the Prophet saw two boys with
'Abdur-Rahman and asked (him), "Are these your sons?" On that
'AbdurRahman said, "Yes." The Prophet said, "You claim what you
claim (i.e.. that he is
impotent)? But by Allah, these boys resemble him as a crow resembles a
crow,"
If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, take the evidence of four

Narrated Umm Atiyyah al-Ansariyyah: A woman used to perform circumcision in
Abu Musa reported: There cropped up a difference of opinion between a group
of Muhajirs (Emigrants and a group of Ansar (Helpers) (and the point of dispute
was) that the Ansar said: The bath (because of sexual intercourse) becomes
obligatory only-when the semen spurts out or ejaculates. But the Muhajirs said:
When a man has sexual intercourse (with the woman), a bath becomes obligatory
(no matter whether or not there is seminal emission or ejaculation). Abu Musa
said: Well, I satisfy you on this (issue). He (Abu Musa, the narrator) said: I
got up (and went) to 'A'isha and sought her permission and it was granted, and
I said to her: 0 Mother, or Mother of the Faithful, I want to ask you about a
matter on which I feel shy. She said: Don't feel shy of asking me about a thing
which you can ask your mother, who gave you birth, for
I am too your mother. Upon this I said: What makes a bath obligatory for a
person? She replied: You have come across one well informed! The Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) said: When anyone sits
amidst four parts (of the woman) and the circumcised parts touch each
other a bath becomes obligatory.
Narrated 'Abdullah: During some of the Ghazawat(militairy
missions) of the Prophet a woman was found killed. Allah's Apostle disapproved
the killing of women and children.
Narrated Ibn 'Umar: During some of the Ghazawat of Allah's Apostle a woman
was found killed, so Allah's Apostle forbade the killing of women and children.
"Not so the worshippers, who are steadfast in prayer, who set aside a
due portion of their wealth for the beggar and for the deprived, who truly
believe in the Day of Reckoning and dread the punishment of their Lord (for
none is secure from the punishment of their Lord); who restrain their carnal
desire (save with their wives and their slave girls, for these are lawful to
them: he that lusts after other than these is a transgressor..."
"And who guard their modesty - Save from their wives or the
(slaves) that their right hands possess, for then they are not blameworthy, "
Prohibited to you (For marriage) are:- Your mothers, daughters, sisters;
father's sisters, Mother's sisters; brother's daughters, sister's daughters;
foster-mothers (Who gave you suck), foster-sisters; your wives' mothers; your
step-daughters under your guardianship, born of your wives to whom ye have gone
in,- no prohibition if ye have not gone in;- (Those who have been) wives of
your sons proceeding from your loins; and two sisters in wedlock at one and the
same time, except for what is past; for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful;-
And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom
your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto you
are all beyond those mentioned, so that ye seek them with your wealth in honest
wedlock, not debauchery. And those of whom ye seek content
(by marrying them), give unto them their portions as a duty. And there
is no sin for you in what ye do by mutual agreement after the duty (hath been
done). Lo! Allah is ever Knower, Wise.
O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid
their dowers; and those whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of
war whom Allah has assigned to thee; and daughters of thy paternal uncles and
aunts, and daughters of thy maternal uncles and aunts, who migrated (from
Makka) with thee; and any believing woman who dedicates her soul to the Prophet
if the Prophet wishes to wed her;- this only for thee, and not for the
Believers (at large); We know what We have appointed for them as to their wives
and the captives whom their right hands possess;- in order that there should be
no difficulty for thee. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Yahya related to me from Malik that Abdullah ibn Dinar said, "A man
came to Abdullah ibn Umar when I was with him at the place where judgments were
given and asked him about the suckling of an older person. Abdullah ibn Umar
replied, 'A man came to Umar ibn al-Khattab and said, 'I have a slave-girl and
I used to have intercourse with her. My wife went to her and suckled her. When
I went to the girl, my wife told me to watch out, because she had suckled her!'
Umar told him to beat his wife and to go to his slave-girl because
kinship by suckling was only by the suckling of the young.'"
Allah permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them,
but not severely. If they abstain, they have the right to food and clothing. Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they
possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies
lawful in his Quran.
Tabari:9:113
Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to
excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are
therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those
on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the
sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way
against them; surely Allah is High, Great.
Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab: The Prophet (peace be
upon him) said: A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife.
Narrated Abdullah ibn AbuDhubab: Iyas ibn Abdullah ibn AbuDhubab reported
the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) as saying: Do not beat Allah's
handmaidens, but when Umar came to the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) and
said: Women have become emboldened towards their husbands, he (the Prophet)
gave permission to beat them. Then many women came round the family of the
Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) complaining against their husbands. So the
Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Many women
have gone round Muhammad's family complaining against their husbands. They are
not the best among you.
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Zam'a: The Prophet forbade laughing at a person who
passes wind, and said, "How does anyone of you beat his wife as he beats
the stallion camel and then he may embrace (sleep with) her?" And Hisham
said, "As he beats his slave"

And remember Our servant Ayyub, when he invoked
his Lord (saying): "Verily, Shaytan has afflicted me with distress and
torment!" (Allah said to him): "Strike the ground with your foot.
This is (a spring of) water to wash in, cool and a drink." And We gave him (back) his family, and along with them the like
thereof, as a mercy from Us, and a reminder for those who understand. "And
take in your hand a bundle of thin grass and strike therewith (your wife), and
break not your oath." Truly, We found him
patient. How excellent a servant! Verily, he was ever oft-returning in
repentance (to Us)!
Tafsir Ibn
Kathir - Quran 38:41-44
Ayyub, peace be upon him, got angry with his wife and was upset about
something she had done, so he swore an oath that if Allah healed him, he would
strike her with one hundred blows. When Allah healed him, how could her
service, mercy, compassion and kindness be repaid with a beating So Allah
showed him a way out, which was to take a bundle of thin grass, with one
hundred stems, and hit her with it once. Thus he fulfilled his oath and avoided
breaking his vow.
Sulayman Ibn `Amr Ibn al-`Ahwas narrated: "Ubai told me that he
witnessed the address of departure of the prophet. He thanked God and praised
him, and started preaching, saying, "I command you good-will for your
wives, for they are captives to you that do not own anything, unless they
commit a manifest obscenity [or adultery]. If they do [commit it], then God has
given you permission to leave them alone in their beds and give them a
bearable beating."[12]
One of the husband's rights is to discipline his wife if she is
disobedient. What does the word 'disobedience' mean? Disobedience is to leave
the house without the husband's permission, to refuse to obey the husband in
bed, to speak to the husband impolitely, or to do the opposite of what he
likes. All these are forms of disobedience...
Okay,
he's tried admonishing, he's tried banishment - but
nothing. Her emotions are numb, and she says: Good riddance. So what is the
next measure? "...and beat them." Beating.
The Prophet Muhammad said that the beatings should be light, and that one should
avoid the face, or the sensitive areas, which might lead to broken bones, or
might leave a mark that would spoil her beauty, whether on her face or anywhere
on her body. Beatings that draw blood, or break bones, or leave a scar, a black
mark on the skin, or any obvious mark, which would make people
know that she was harshly beaten - this is forbidden.
How
should the beatings go? Maybe a light slap on her shoulder, or maybe a
not-so-light pinch, or a kind of gentle shove. He should make her feel that he
wants to reform her, and let her know that he is displeased with her. It is
like saying: None of the measures that work with sensitive people work with
you. A word would be enough for any wife with lofty morals, but with you, words
do not help.
Then he
attempts a new direction, appealing to her femininity and emotions, by making
her feel that he doesn't want her or love her. When this doesn't work, he says
to her: With you, I have reached a stage which is only appropriate for inhumane
people - the stage of beating.
Beating is one of the punishments of religious law. What kind
of people are beaten? Virgin adulterers, both men and women, are beaten
as a means of discipline. Who else is beaten? A person who
committed an offense and was sentenced by the judge to beatings. Who
else is beaten? Someone who committed a crime. By
beating his wife, the husband is saying: You've committed a grave sin that
merits beatings."

Dispatch - No. 2229, February 5, 2009
Allaah has enjoined woman to be obedient to her husband, and has made men
qawwaamoon (protectors and maintainers) of women. They are supposed to direct
and look after women as a leader directs and looks after his people, because of
the physical and mental characteristics with which Allaah has distinguished
them, as well as the financial duties that He has enjoined upon them...
If the wife goes against his wishes and refuses to obey him, the husband has to
take a gradual approach in handling the matter. First he should admonish her
and remind her of the punishment for disobeying his command. If that does not
succeed, then he moves on to forsaking her in bed. If that does not work, then
he may hit her, but in a manner that is not severe, and there is nothing wrong
with also threatening her with divorce...

wife does not cover her hands should he threaten to divorce her? - Islam

If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, Take the evidence of four
(Reliable) witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify,
confine them to houses until death do claim them, or Allah ordain for them some
(other) way.
Compare this to the punishment
for men.
If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they
repent and amend, Leave them alone; for Allah is
Oft-returning, Most Merciful.
Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid: Two men had a dispute in the
presence of Allah's Apostle. One of them said, "O Allah's Apostle! Judge between us according to Allah's Laws." The other
who was wiser, said, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle! Judge between us according
to Allah's Laws and allow me to speak. The Prophet said, "Speak." He
said, "My son was a laborer serving this (person) and he committed illegal
sexual intercourse with his wife, The people said that
my son is to be stoned to death, but I ransomed him with one-hundred sheep and
a slave girl. Then I asked the learned people, who informed me that my son
should receive one hundred lashes and will be exiled for one year, and stoning
will be the lot for the man's wife." Allah's Apostle said, "Indeed,
by Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I will judge between you according to Allah's
Laws: As for your sheep and slave girl, they are to be returned to you."
Then he scourged his son one hundred lashes and exiled him for one year. Then
Unais Al-Aslami was ordered to go to the wife of the second man, and if she
confessed (the crime), then stone her to death. She did confess, so he stoned
her to death.
Narrated Abu Huraira and Said bin Khalid: The verdict of Allah's Apostle
was sought about an unmarried slave girl guilty of illegal intercourse. He
replied, "If she commits illegal sexual intercourse, then flog her (fifty
stripes), and if she commits illegal sexual intercourse (after that for the
second time), then flog her (fifty stripes), and if she commits illegal sexual
intercourse (for the third time), then flog her (fifty stripes) and sell her
for even a hair rope." Ibn Shihab said, "I am not sure whether the
Prophet ordered that she be sold after the third or fourth time of committing
illegal intercourse."

Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported: Abu Bakr (Allah
be pleased with him) came and sought permission to see Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). He found people sitting at his door
and none amongst them had been granted permission, but it was granted to Abu
Bakr and he went in. Then came 'Umar and he sought permission and it was
granted to him, and he found Allah's Apostle (may
peace be upon him) sitting sad and silent with his wives around him. He (Hadrat
'Umar) said: I would say something which would make the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) laugh, so he said: Messenger of
Allah, I wish you had seen (the treatment meted out to) the daughter ofKhadija
when you asked me some money, and I got up and slapped her on her neck. Allah's
Messenger (mav peace be upon him) laughed and said:
They are around me as you see, asking for extra money. Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with him) then got up went to 'A'isha (Allah be
pleased with her) and slapped her on the neck, and 'Umar stood up before Hafsa
and slapped her saying: You ask Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
which he does not possess. They said: By Allah, we do not ask Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) for anything he does not
possess. Then he withdrew from them for a month or for twenty-nine days. Then
this verse was revealed to him:" Prophet: Say to thy wives... for a mighty
reward" (xxxiii. 28). He then went first to 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) and said: I want to propound something
to you, 'A'isha, but wish no hasty reply before you consult your parents. She
said: Messenger of Allah, what is that? He (the Holy Prophet) recited to her
the verse, whereupon she said: Is it about you that I should consult my
parents, Messenger of Allah? Nay, I choose Allah, His Messenger, and the Last
Abode; but I ask you not to tell any of your wives what I have said He replied:
Not one of them will ask me without my informing her. God did not send me to be
harsh, or cause harm, but He has sent me to teach and make things easy.
Iyas b. Abdullah reported God's messenger as saying, "Do not beat
God's handmaidens;" but when `Umar came to God's messenger and said,
"The women have become emboldened towards their husbands," he gave
licence to beat them. Then many women went round God's messenger's family
complaining of their husbands, and he said, "Many women have gone around
complaining of their husbands. Those are not the best among you." Abu
Dawud, Ibn Majah, and Darimi transmitted it.

Yahya related to me from Malik that Abdullah ibn Dinar said, "A man
came to Abdullah ibn Umar when I waswith him at the place where judgments were

replied, 'A man came to Umar ibn al-Khattab and said, 'I have a slave-girl and
I used to have intercourse with her. My wife went to her and suckled her. When
I went to the girl, my wife told me to watch out, because she had suckled her!'
Umar told him to beat his wife and to go to his slave-girl because
kinship by suckling was only by the suckling of the young.' "
Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach
your tilth when or how ye will; but do some good act for your souls beforehand; and fear Allah. And know
that ye are to meet Him (in the Hereafter), and give (these) good tidings to
those who believe.
A woman does not give trouble to her husband in this world but his wife of
the pure-eyed virgin ones [huris] does not say to her: 'Do not give him
trouble. May Allah destroy you, He is only a passing guest with you and it is
very near that he will soon leave you to come to us'.
Mishkat al-Masabih, Book
1, Duties of Husband and Wife, Hadith Number 62
The virtuous wife, if her husband bids her, she obeys him; if he looks at
her, she pleases him; if he gives her an oath; she fulfils it, and if he is
absent from her, she guards herself and his property.
Mishkat al-Masabih, Book
1, duty towards children Hadith Number 43
The best women are those who have the prettiest faces and the cheapest
dowry.[13]
The good wife is out of this world because she helps free you to
concentrate on the life to come. She does that by doing her house duties
(instead of the husband having to do them), and by satisfying the husband
sexually so protecting him from sexual temptation.[14]
"Prophet! Tell your wives and daughters and all Muslim women
to draw cloaks and veils all over their bodies (screening themselves completely
except for one or two eyes to see the way). That will be better."
"Say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and
guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty except what
(must) appear; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not
display them except to their husbands..."
When we reached Khaybar, Muhammad said that Allah had enabled him to
conquer them. It was then that the beauty of Safiyah was described to him. Her
husband had been killed, so Allahs Apostle selected her for himself. He took
her along with him till we reached a place called Sad where her menses were
over and he took her for his wife, consummating his marriage to her, and forcing

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: Once Allah's Apostle went out to the Musalla
(to offer the prayer) o 'Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the
women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of
the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it
so, O Allah's Apostle ?" He replied,
"You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. 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 Apostle! 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. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor
fast during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said,
"This is the deficiency in her religion."

possess before they left their dwelling-places. They will answer them, saying
that they have sat down with their Lord, and therefore they have the right to
it.[17]
