12. Is it true that most of the inhabitants of the Fire will be women, and why?

Question: Is it true what has been said that most of the inhabitants of the Fire will be women, and why?Answer: This is true, because the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said to them while delivering a sermon to them:“Oh, you community of women! Give charity, for I have seen that you are the majority of the inhabitants of the Fire.”This doubt raised by the questioner was expressed to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم): They said: “Due to what, Oh, Messenger of Allah?” He (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:“You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands.” [1]So, the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) has made the reasons clear why they are the majority of the dwellers in the Fire; because they malign, curse and revile frequently, and they are ungrateful to their husbands. For these reasons, they become the majority of the inhabitants of the Fire.[1] Reported by Al-Bukhari in the Book of Menstrual Periods, in the Chapter: The Menstruating Woman Abandoning the Fast (304) and by Muslim in the Book of Faith, in the chapter: Explanation Regarding Incomplete Faith Due to the Lack in Acts of Obedience (79).Shaikh Muhammad bin Salih Al-’Uthaimeen[Taken from Fatawa Arkan-ul-Islam (Islamic Verdicts on the Pillars of Islaam, Volume 1 (Creed & Prayer), Darussalam pg.179-180]
