Woman . Hadith . Nahj al-Balagha . Man

Are the narrations in Nahj Al Fasahah authentic that state that, in the absence of women, God would be properly worshipped and all men would go to heaven? If so, what is the context behind these narrations?

The Qur'an does not express these negative ideas about women. Also, the Qur'an makes everyone responsible for their own acts (that is, men cannot blame women for their actions). It also conflicts the kind and respectful way that the Prophet (S) treated his womenfolk and female sahabah. Therefore, narrations which appear to contradict the Qur'an and Sunnah can be set aside.

This particular hadith is not in any strong source books - it appears to have been taken from Jami' al-Saghir by al-Suyuti (15th century, Egyptian, Sunni) - so it can be set aside as not having any evidence to support it as an authentic statement of the Prophet (S).

As for where it came from, possibly someone said it as a reflection of the age-old tensions between men and women in life and it became attributed to the Prophet (S). These types of negative views about women and religion existed for a long time before Islam and could have come from there.

Gold . Necklace . Ghusl . Woman . Ayat al-Kursi

Is it allowed for a woman to wear a gold necklace with Ayatul Kursi at all times, including when using the bathroom or taking a shower?

Bismihi ta'ala,

Yes, it is permissible for her to wear it, as long as the script of the Quran does not touch her skin if she does not have wudhu'. To avoid this, she can wear it on top of clothing, or keep the script to the front, or cover it with a thin transparent layer of nail-polish, or something like that, which can also be used as a protection for it as well.

Of course, she must also ensure that it stays away from any najasah.

Friendship . Mahram . Woman

I understand that friendship with non-Mahram is not permissible. However, would it be okay in the case that both parties, female and male, have no ill intention and interact with one another within boundaries?

No friendship can be permissible between non Mahram men and women. Dealing with doctors or teachers or lawyers or government officers etc from other gender is permissible as far as it does not have emotional impact at all, which in fact not a friendship but just work only.

Friendship between non Mahram men and women is not permissible even if you have no emotional intention now. You can not guarantee the intention of the other person neither now nor in the future.

Woman . Woman . Husband . Man . Polygamy

Why are women required to cover themselves while men are not? Additionally, why are men permitted to have up to four wives whereas women can only have one husband?

We believe in Allah's absolute Wisdom and Knowledge and Mercy,b that is why we never argue with any rule from Allah. We know that He Knows all the reasons even if we don't know. Real believers submit to all the rules which came from Allah (SWT) through His Messenger (SAWA).

We might know part if the reason but can never expect knowing full reason because of our limitations as human beings.

Woman covering her body might be related to the fact that woman in her nature is more attractive to men, that is why she needs to cover herself.

Woman is allowed one husband only at the time, because of her dignity and respect which part of her creation as a human female. Usually, noble females from any faith or religious or cultural background, don't accept nor digest having more than one husband at the time. That is part of her nature.

Salaam
Islam does not support this approach, and what we see in daily practice in Muslim and non-Muslim societies is the total opposite of such an unfounded claim.

Studying the religion of Islam is no doubt meritorious for both men and women. But Islam asks us as humans in general and Muslims in particular to meet the needs of humanity. This meeting of needs if we take the medical field for example requires both males and females to excel in the profession. So that benefit might be had by all those in need, here I am alluding to private examinations, as just one simple example. Entailing preferred examinations of females by females, and that of males by males. This need of society cannot be accomplished if females are restricted to a field of study which does not provide them with the necessary expertise in medicine.

Father . Husband . Woman . Hijab

Can a father or a husband or any other individual oblige a woman to wear the Hijab? If she refuses to wear it can a father, for example, ground her?

Bismihi ta'ala

Hijab is an obligation, and it is obligatory for every Muslim man and woman to observe their hijab, according to the boundaries and requirements of dress code set for each gender.

It should not need to reach any form of punishment, because the Muslim should be proud and honoured to implement and practice his/her faith.
