How authentic is the hadith "طاعة المرأة ندامة"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
This was narrated by Ibn Asakir, Ibn Adi, and Al-Uqayli, which are books known to contain weak narrations. Many scholars, including Al-Bayruti, Al-Shawkani, and Al-Albani, have deemed it weak. It is contradicted by what is established regarding the Prophet (peace be upon him) taking the advice of Umm Salamah during the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, and the righteous man taking the advice of his daughter concerning Musa when she said: "O my father, hire him. Indeed, the best of those whom you could hire is the strong, the trustworthy" (Quran 28:26).
