Is the diyya (blood money) for a woman half that of a man? Was woman created from a crooked rib? Does the hadith "You are the companions of Yusuf" diminish the status of women? Is it true that a woman's testimony is not accepted in disputes, based on the verse of debt? Is the hadith "Indeed, ill omens are in three: women, dwellings, and horses" authentic?

1. The scholars are unanimous that the Diyah (blood money) for a woman is half that of a man concerning the soul. There is a disagreement regarding the Diyah for limbs. Unanimity is a definitive proof, and there is no room for ijtihad (independent reasoning) in a matter of consensus.

2. Woman was created from a rib to show her weakness and potential for transgression, which necessitates treating her kindly and considering her nature.

3. The hadith "You are the companions of Yusuf" is authentically established in the Two Sahihs, and it refers to Aisha, as she was likened to the women of Yusuf in revealing what is contrary to their inner selves.

4. A woman's testimony has different circumstances: it is accepted individually in matters known only to women, it is not accepted in Hudud (punishments) and Qisas (retaliation), and it is accepted with men in financial matters and those related to them.

5. The hadith "Indeed, ill omen is in three: the horse, the woman, and the house" is authentic. Its meaning is an indication to avoid what might coincide with destiny and lead a person to believe in the forbidden ill omens.
