What is the ruling on circulating the phrase, "She will sell you while at ease; she sold Paradise for an apple," which refers to women? And does it contain an insult to our mother Eve?
There is no evidence that the tree from which Adam and Eve ate was an apple tree. Therefore, the phrase "Eve sold Paradise for an apple" should not be uttered, as it conveys a negative connotation that is not befitting of our mother Eve. A Muslim should guard his tongue from ambiguous expressions.
