The question

Is the Hadith: "If a woman prays her five [daily prayers], fasts her month [Ramadan], guards her chastity, and obeys her husband, she will enter Paradise from any of its gates she wishes," authentic, or is it suspicious and not to be used as evidence? And does its meaning imply that a woman can reach Al-Firdaws through one of these gates, or are these gates for a single rank?

The answer

The narrated by the woman, "If she prays her five [daily prayers], fasts her month [], guards her chastity, and obeys her husband, it will be said to her: 'Enter Paradise from whichever of its gates you wish.'" This Hadith has been graded as li ghayrihi (good due to external corroboration) by a number of scholars, and it is valid to use as evidence. If a woman fulfills the four conditions mentioned in the Hadith, she is promised entry into Paradise from any of its eight gates she wishes. And if she enters Paradise, she can reach al-Firdaws by achieving the characteristics of the people of Firdaws mentioned in Surat al-Mu'minun and al-Kahf.
