The Meaning of the Hadith "Women Were Created from a Crooked Rib"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Some scholars said that this is in the language of women. Is this a sound interpretation of its meaning?
Answer:
The discussion concerns women; they were created from a crooked rib. There must be a defect in them, and the defect remains in them. Therefore, what a believer should do is overlook some things. If you try to straighten her, you will break her.
Q: So, "the top of it" is not a sound interpretation in the language of women?
The Shaykh: Allah knows best.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
And the most crooked part of the rib is its top.
