The Meaning of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) Saying: "Women are the Counterparts of Men"

The Shaykh:
May Allah bless you.

The questioner:
I ask Your Excellency the Shaykh for permission to take the first question that reached us in this session. This honorable brother, Abdullah, asks: What is the meaning of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, "Women are the counterparts of men"?

The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. The Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, "Women are the counterparts of men," means that women are the sisters of men in terms of the original creation and the original constitution. So they are like men in general terms. In general terms. As for the details, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says: . Yes.
