Forty Hadiths for Women
By Muhammad bin Shaker Ash-Sharif
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, and Peace and Blessings be upon Muhammad, His Apostle, the constant bearer of good tidings and the constant warner to the whole of mankind.
The following is a group of Hadiths concerned with some Islamic regulations for women. I collected and divided into chapters. It includes only forty-three hadiths, simple and easy to memorize. I followed the steps of many previous compilers who collected forty hadiths in various subjects. All hadiths are certain and accurate, i.e. mentioned in Sahih Muslim and/or Al Bukhari or agreed upon by the prominent hadith scholars.
I pray to Allah, the High and Almighty, to accept this modest work from his humble worshipper, forgive all my sins and mistakes, guide my intention, and let me die on good deeds.
Aameen!
Muhammad bin Shaker Ash-Sharif
Chapter 1 :
Woman’s Pray at Home is better than Going to Mosque
Narrated by Ibn 'Umar: Allah's Apostle said: “Do not prevent women (wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, etc) from (praying at) mosques. Yet, their prayer at home is better (for them).”

Chapter 2 :
Woman’s Freedom to Go out for their Needs

Chapter 3 :
Evils behind Unnecessary Socialising of Unveiled Women
Narrated by Ibn Mas'ud: Allah's Apostle said: “(Unveiled) woman is a cause of corruption. Once she goes out Satan beautifies her in the eyes of men (to seduce her as well as them). At her home, she is the closest (to the face) of her Lord.”

Chapter 4 :
Woman should take the Permission of Her Husband before Going out
.
Narrated by Ibn Umar: One of the wives of Umar (bin Al-Khattab) used to offer the Fajr and the 'Isha' prayer in congregation in the Mosque. She was asked why she had come out for the prayer as she knew that Umar disliked it, and he has great “ghaira" (self-respect). She replied, "What prevents him from stopping me from this act?" The other replied, "The statement of Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h): 'Do not stop Allah's women-slave from going to Allah’s Mosques. "

Chapter 5:
Prohibition on Women Regarding Putting Perfumes when Going out
Narrated by Abu Mousa Al Ash’ari: Allah's Apostle said: “If a woman uses perfume and passes the people so that they may get its odour, she is so-and-so, meaning severe remarks. (i.e. about to commit adultery).”
