The Meaning of the Deficiency of Intellect and Religion in Women

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a caller to the program who says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the meaning of the deficiency of intellect and religion in women? This hadith has been reported.

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) [said] that the deficiency of intellect is that the testimony of two women is equal to the testimony of one man,
And if there are not two men [available], then a man and two women from those whom you accept as witnessesفَإِن لَّمْ يَكُونَا رَجُلَيْنِ فَرَجُلٌ وَامْرَأَتَانِ مِمَّن تَرْضَوْنَ مِنَ الشُّهَدَاءِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:282]
, and as for the deficiency of her religion, it is because she menstruates and the days of menstruation come upon her, during which she does not pray, so a portion of her life passes in which she does not pray during the days of menstruation. Yes.
