What is the ruling on some men insulting and denigrating women, using the Prophet's hadiths (peace be upon him) to do so?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
It is legally required for a man to honor a woman, and insulting her is a sign of baseness and meanness, based on the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Treat women kindly." And his saying: "The best among you is he who is best to his family, and I am the best among you to my family." Allah has granted men guardianship over women to teach them their religious matters and to clarify what leads them to righteousness. Whoever sees a man behaving contrary to this approach, let him advise him and explain the error of his conduct.
