SERMON 80 - After the Battle of Jamal, Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib, Peace be Upon Him Said the Following about Physical Defects of Women


O people! Women are deficient in faith, deficient in shares and deficient in intelligence. As regarding the deficiency in their faith, it is their abstention from prayers and fasting during their menstrual period. As regarding deficiency in their intelligence it is because the testimony of two women is equal to that of one man. As for the deficiency of their shares that is because of their share in inheritance being half of men. So beware of the evils of women. Be on your guard even from those of them who are (reportedly) good. Do not obey them even in good things so that they may not attract you to evils.
