The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is this phrase correct, “We were driven out of Paradise because of women”? Is this statement true?
The Shaykh:
Because of what?
The questioner:
Women.
The Shaykh:
Women. No, they were driven out of Paradise because of disobedience. They were forbidden from eating from a specific tree, but Satan made it attractive to them, so they ate from it. However, both of them repented (peace and blessings be upon them); Allah accepted their repentance. So, they left Paradise because of eating from the tree that Allah had forbidden them from,[Al-A'raf 7:22-23], [Al-A'raf 7:23] Allah accepted their repentance. Yes. Next night is Monday night, there is no lesson if Allah wills. Tuesday night. Yes.

Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you that Satan is to you a clear enemy?" (23) They said, "Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves
أَلَمْ أَنْهَكُمَا عَن تِلْكُمَا الشَّجَرَةِ وَأَقُل لَّكُمَا إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَكُمَا عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ قَالَا رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنفُسَنَاand if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers."
وَإِن لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ
