Hadith.4375 - The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) passed by a group of women, stopped, and said: "O assembly of women! I have not seen those who are deficient in intellect and religion more capable of taking away the reasoning of men of understanding than you. Indeed, I have observed that you will form the majority of the inhabitants of Hell on the Day of Judgment. So, seek closeness to Allah (swt), the Almighty and Glorious, as much as you can." One of the women asked: "O Messenger of Allah (swt), what is the deficiency in our religion and intellect?" He (sw) replied: "As for the deficiency in your religion, it is due to the menstruation that afflicts you, during which one of you may remain for a period, as Allah (swt) wills, without praying or fasting. And as for the deficiency in your intellect, it is because the testimony of a woman is equivalent to half the testimony of a man."
