Is the narration some people use to justify joking with women, which states that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to a woman: "No old woman will enter Paradise," authentic?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Joking with young women or those who are typically desired is not permissible, due to the ensuing exposure to temptation and corruption. Citing the permissibility of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, joking with an old woman as proof is incorrect, because what is forbidden is joking with young women who are typically desired, unlike old women with whom temptation is generally not feared.
