Question:
This is a questioner, Honorable Shaykh, who sent a question regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Az-Zukhruf 43:18]?
Answer:
Yes, because they attributed daughters to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), Allah purified Himself of that. They attributed daughters to Allah, yet they do not love daughters. They assign to Allah what they hate, and they attribute sons to themselves. They attribute to themselves what they love, and they attribute to Allah what they do not love. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said, "Or one who is raised in adornment," in the context of refuting this. "Or one who is raised in adornment," and the adornment is the daughter. The daughter needs adornment to beautify herself with it, because she is incomplete, so the adornment completes her and beautifies her. And she is not clear in dispute. A woman is not able to engage in litigation in the courts; rather, she is weak in that and unable to argue. So she has these two characteristics: that she needs to wear adornment to beautify and complete her, and the second characteristic is that she is weak in dispute and is not like the man. The man does not need adornment, and he is also strong in dispute; he defends himself and responds to the aggressor and the objector. Yes.
