Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went to the Eid prayer place on Eid al-Adha or Eid al-Fitr. There he passed by the women and said: O assembly of women, give charity, for I have seen that most of the inhabitants of Hell are you. They said, O Messenger of Allah, why is that? He said: You curse a lot and are ungrateful to your husbands. Despite being deficient in intellect and religion, I have not seen anyone more capable than you of making a wise and experienced man lose his senses. The women asked: O Messenger of Allah, what is the deficiency in our religion and our intellect? He said: Is it not the case that the testimony of a woman is half that of a man? They said: Yes, it is so. He said: That is the deficiency of her intellect. Then he asked: Is it not the case that when a woman is menstruating, she neither prays nor fasts? The women said: Yes, it is so. He said: That is the deficiency in her religion.
