The Meaning of the Hadith: “Their Heads Are Like the Humps of the Bactrian Camel”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the meaning of the hadith regarding women, “Their heads are like the humps of the Bactrian camel”?

Answer:
It means that they gather the hair on their heads and shape it into the form of another head, the size of another head, so that she appears to have two heads in appearance: the head that Allah created, and the second head that she gathered and tied to the side of her head, so her head becomes like the hump of the Bactrian camel, which is the camel that has two humps.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
