The meaning of "there will be a guardian for fifty women" in the hadith

Question:
The hadith... , what is meant by the guardian?

Answer:
It means he takes care of them, attends to their affairs: providing for them, supervising them, and the like, due to the scarcity of men.
And this may be due to causes; among them:
The many wars and trials that consume men, leaving the women behind.
And among them is that Allah may decree that women bear more daughters and fewer sons, and that the majority of offspring be female, so that women become numerous and men few, and your Lord is capable of all things.
It may also be due to plagues; there may be a plague in the end times where the death of men is more prevalent.
The bottom line is: what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us of will certainly happen, whether the increase of women is due to the many wars, or plagues, or because of the scarcity of them bearing sons, and that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) decrees that conception is less likely to result in sons.
And this now exists in many families; we know many instances of this. You find many families with many daughters and few sons, either none, or one, or two, while the women are numerous. You find: one man and seven daughters, or ten daughters. So this is currently present in much of this Kingdom. As for other countries and kingdoms, we do not know about them, and it is likely that it is more prevalent there. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) does not speak from desire , and as for what will happen in the end times after us, Allah knows best.
