Fear the company of women—they bring bad luck

 

Sahih Bukhari

Women, house and horses are evil omens...7.62.30, 31, 32

The evil omens are: the horse, the women and the house...4.52.110, 111  

Malik’s Muwatta

A woman, a horse and a house bring bad luck…54.8.21, 22  

Sahih Muslim

Women are more harmful to men than anything else…36.6603, 6604  

Ghazali

Muhammad said, “There will remain no greater danger for the people after my death than women. Fear the world of women.”…(volume 3, p.86)  

Muhammad said,” A woman is the string of the devil.”…(volume 3, p.87)  

 

Women have very little intelligence—their own testimony is inadmissible in rape cases; in other matters their testimony is half to that of a man

 

Qur’an

Confinement till death for lewdness by women four believing male witnesses are required to prove a woman’s innocence... 4:15

Write the contract; women witness is half of men...2:282  

Sunaan Abu Dawud

Defect of reason in women are: testimony of two women for one man; defect of faith in women, no fasting during Ramadan…3.40.4662

“‘Abd Allah b. Umar reported the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) as saying: I did not see more defective in respect of reason and religion than the wise of you (women). A woman asked: What is the defect of reason and religion? He replied: The defect of reason is the testimony of two women for one man, and the defect of faith is that one of you does not fast during Ramadan (when one is menstruating), and keep away from prayer for some days.”

 

Women are less human—they get one-third of blood money, no booty (for Jihad) for them

 

Malik’s Muwatta

The blood money for a woman is one-third of the blood money for a man; she can be given up to half of the blood money of a man…43.6.4b  

Sahih Muslim

Women Jihadiststs do not get booties except that they get a prize for participating in a jihad. …19.4458  

 

Women are worse than dead persons—they cannot follow a bier

 

Sahih Muslim

Women cannot follow the bier…4.2039  

 

Men should always oppose women

Ghazali

Hazrat Umar said, “Act opposite to women as there is reward in opposing them.”…(volume 2, p.34)  

 

Women are easily expendable—a divorced woman gets no maintenance or alimony from her ex-husband

 

Sahih Muslim

No lodging and maintenance for an irrevocably divorced woman; Muhammad asked one such woman to be lodged with a blind man, Ibn Umm Maktum…9.3519, 3522, 3530  

 

A woman has the right to stay at home solely to provide sex to her husband  

Hedaya

The woman’s stay at home is solely for sex—(p.54)  

“On the other hand the husband has no power to restrain his wife from going on a journey, or from going abroad, or visiting her friends, until such time as shall have discharged the whole of the Mihr Moajil, or prompt dower, because a husband’s right to confine his wife at home is solely for the sake of securing to himself the enjoyment of her person, and his right to such enjoyment does not exist until after the payment of the return for it.”    

A woman becomes a harlot when she wears perfume  

Mishkat al-Masabih

If a woman uses perfume she is an adulteress…(volume 2, p.255)  

Abu Musa reported Allah’s messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as saying: Every eye is lustful and when a woman applies perfume and then goes about in an assembly she is like such and such i.e., adulteress. (Hadis number 1065).    

Conclusion:  If you are appalled by patiently reading what I diligently cited from the most authentic Islamic sources please bear in mind that those uncivilised Islamic provisions are not mere rhetoric or dead passages buried in the incredibly unfathomed depth of Islamic epics. Those Islamic requirements are living laws enacted in many Islamic Paradises, such as Saudi Arabia , Sudan , Afghanistan , Pakistan , Iran , certain parts of Nigeria and Malaysia . They are compulsory for all the Muslim women as well as for the infidel women living (in some Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia ) there. It is also feared that those barbaric Islamic customs may soon be imposed upon the Iraqi women. Isn’t March 8th the most appropriate time for all women in the world to raise their call to free their Muslim sisters from such unimaginable, barbaric, medieval-age tyranny? There is no dignity, no respect and no basic human rights for women in the Muslim world. They are living in a world completely devoid of reason, justice, equality of gender and human dignity. Shall we not do something for these wretched, hapless women? Are we not living in a civilised society?
