3 - رج رسول الله ﷺ في أضحى أو فطر إلى المصلى فمر على النساء ، فقال : يا معشر النساء تصدقن فإني أريتكن أكثر أهل النار فقلن وبم يا رسول الله قال تكثرن اللعن وتكفرن العشير ما رأيت من ناقصات عقل ودين أذهب للب الرجل الحازم من إحداكن قلن وما نقصان ديننا وعقلنا يا رسول الله قال أليس شهادة المرأة مثل نصف شهادة الرجل قلن بلى قال : فذلك نقصان من عقلها أليس إذا حاضت لم تصل ولم تصم قلن بلى قال : فذلك من نقصان دينها
3 - On Eid al-Adha or Eid al-Fitr, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, went out to the prayer place and passed by the women, He said: O women, give charity, for I have shown you to be most of the people of Hellfire, You curse too much and cover up the good company, what I saw of deficient in intellect and religion: go out the mind of a firm man from one of you, they said, What is the deficiency of our religion and our reason, O Messenger of God? He said: Isn't the testimony of a woman the same as half the testimony of a man? They said yes, He said: That is a deficiency of her intellect, Is it not if she menstruates and does not pray and does not fast: They said, “Yes.” He said: This is from the deficiency in her religion.
We take from the hadith several topics
1 - Women are commanded to give alms rather than men, and this is a specific matter because, as the Messenger described them, most of the people of Hellfire, and that is for the things they do with their husbands who have a great right after God Almighty and after the parents are upon them, they curse a lot: “It is the cursed, so that the circle of goodness from God Almighty doesn't reaches wwho's cursed him, Therefore, if the one who curses him does not deserve this curse, he will return to her, the other thing that women do: they cover me with goodness, with the first mistake: a man makes a mistake about them.
2 - Then the Messenger says something strange about women: that they are deficient in intellect and religion, and the strangest thing is that - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - even though he described them as such, but He said in his praise of what covers me this slander: (They go with the mind of a firm man) In this detail in a related study at the end of the topic - do not miss it -
3 - As usual for some arguing women, I heard the words of the Messenger and did not stop asking, so one of them said: And what is the deficiency of our intellect and religion)? So the response of the Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - was as stated in the hadith -
4 - It is also not hidden from a sane person that some women have their menstrual cycle up to 14 days of the month for some health conditions, which means that their worship is less than that of men.

Why is the testimony of a woman half the testimony of a man?
Does God - Glory be to Him - belittle a woman and make her testimony half that of a man?
In other words, makes her testimony before the testimony of two men in any question of life, which has a definite fate for someone in court or otherwise? The truth is that this statement is not true, after a while you will find the scientific answer in your hands, until we reach that, let us explain the verse: God Almighty says
(فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُونَا رَجُلَيْنِ فَرَجُلٌ وَ امْرَأَتَانِ مِمَّنْ تَرْضَوْنَ مِنَ الشُّهَدَاءِ أَنْ تَضِلَّ إِحْدَاهُمَا فَتُذَكِّرَ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَى) [البقرة: 282]
(And if they are not two men, then a man and two women from among the martyrs you approve of, lest one of them go astray and remind one of the other) [Al-Baqarah: 282]
God Almighty warns us that if you do not find two men at the time of martyrdom, we will take the testimony of one man and two women, But not any two women, but rather (those whom the martyrdom is pleased with: they are righteous) What does this mean? That is, they know justice and sincerity, and they take into account that sincerity is originally - to God Almighty -
to the scientific explanation
Initial study
According to a study published on the North American Menopause Society (NAMS) website, a woman's memory is not constant throughout her life, it suddenly decreases after menopause, but middle-aged women have better memories than men, but differently than men.
The second study
In another study published in the journal JNeurosci, it was found that women remember things differently than men. And her emotional memory is greater than that of a man, That is, she is affected emotionally and greatly while remembering the event, because the memory of a woman during her testimony depends on the type of remembrance.
feedback on the second study
All this confirms that the presence of another woman while giving testimony will have a good impact on the quality of the testimony and the accuracy of the information you will provide, because the second woman often will not have the same emotional effects on herself, This enables the judge to make intersections between the testimony of the first woman and the testimony of the second woman in order to find out the truth.
The third study
The University of Pennsylvania conducted a major study on 949 male and female brains. Researchers found that women are better than men at thinking about multiple tasks because they use both parts of the brain as well as for issues that need to focus on a single issue, a man prefers a woman because he uses only one part of the brain, say scientists at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
From the results of this study, Dr. Robin Goure says:
The results were shocking when we saw these amazing differences between male and female brains, but they are complementary to each other, but what is important is that women have a higher ability than men for social tasks .. while men are distinguished by their superior ability to work that requires specific focus such as driving and control.
We conclude from the following
Since a woman uses her emotions while remembering, and since a woman suffers from memory problems immediately after menopause, and since a woman uses both halves of her brain to remember, which means her ability to focus less, for all of this, May God ease the burden and honor of a woman's testimony by allowing her to seek advice from another woman to complete the shahada and not to be controlled by a man, he made this command mandatory, i.e. do not accept one woman's testimony, Except in special cases such as the wife’s testimony against her husband, and cases of chastity and honor. Should we say after these facts that Islam insults and degrades the woman?
