´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said:` "O Allah, bear witness that I have issued a warning concerning (failure to fulfill) the rights of the two weak ones: Orphans and women.'"
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
An orphan is dependent on his guardian for his needs.
He cannot make demands of him in the same way that a child insists or affectionately persuades his father to fulfill his wishes. Therefore, it is necessary that the orphan’s needs be fulfilled without him having to ask.
➋
A woman is, morally, legally, and according to Shariah, under the authority of her husband.
If the husband does not fully fulfill her rights, yet she is compelled to remain in that home due to her love for her children or her love for her husband, then the husband should not attempt to take undue advantage of her vulnerability. Rather, he should fulfill her rights in a better manner.
