Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The fifth question of Fatwa No. ( 7673 ):
Q5: What is the interpretation of the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 1467b , and what is meant by the crookedness?
A5: Its meaning is that a woman is not free from crookedness in her character, just as a rib is. Therefore, whoever seeks her perfection cannot achieve it except by divorcing her. So, what is prescribed for him is patience and overlooking some of the crookedness, while continuing to offer advice and guidance. And success is from Allah. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
