[241] 132 - (79) It was narrated from 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "O women, give in charity and pray a great deal for forgiveness, for I have seen that you are the majority of the people of the Fire." A wise woman among them said: "Why is it, O Messenger of Allāh, that we are the majority of the people of the Fire?" He said: "You curse a great deal and are ungrateful (Takfurna) to your husbands. I have never seen anyone so deficient in intellect and religion, more overwhelming to a man of wisdom and reason than you.” She said: “O Messenger of Allâh, what does deficient in intellect and religion mean?” He said: “As for lacking in intellect, the testimony of two women is equivalent to the testimony of one man - this is deficiency in intellect. And (a woman) does not perform Ṣalât for several days, and she does not fast (during her menses) in Ramaḍân - this is deficiency in religion.”
