Is it true that women are the majority of the people of the Fire?

Question : The questioner says: Women are the majority of the people of the Fire. Is this true, and why?

Answer : Yes. This is true, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them while delivering a sermon to them: “O women, give in charity, for you are the majority of the people of the Fire.” And the questioner raised the same issue that was raised with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “Why, O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “Because you curse much and you are ungrateful to your husbands.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained the reasons for their being the majority of the people of the Fire: because they curse, revile, and insult much, and they are ungrateful to their husbands, who are the ones they are ungrateful to. Thus, they became the majority of the people of the Fire. Yes.
