Dear Saif sb and members of the
list,
Assalamu Alaikum. As regards your letter
below,please read the full hadith in the Bukhari and their various
interpretations. The position on any issue in Islam is not determined by a
single hadith or verse but by considering all relevant evidence. One
interpretation of the hadith under reference is that the Prophet (
sm )was joking with the women on Eid day ( Please see At Tahrirul Maraah fi
Ahdir Risalate , Abdul Halim Abu Shukkah, volume 1 ) Quran says that Insan
has been created weak , so men have also weaknesses. On the otherhand the Quran
also says that all human beings have been created in most excellent form ( Sura
Teen ), so women and men have many excellences. It can not be said that women in
general are deficient than men, it will run counter to human equality narrated
in so many verses in the Quran.
The Prophet ( sm ) and many sahabas used to
consult women , this shows the honour the Prophet gave to the intellectual
ability of women.About the whole issue of status of women including
that of evidence, please read discussion of Jamal Badawi in Islamic
Teaching Course,G 14-20 ( you can listen in islamonline.net ) and the book
the Status of Women in Islam by Dr Qaradawi..
Shah Abdul Hannan
