Don't be a Carrier of Firewood
Allāh ﷻ said:
{وَٱمۡرَأَتُهُۥ حَمَّالَةَ ٱلۡحَطَبِ}
"And his (Abu Lahab's) wife - the carrier of firewood." [Sūrah Al-Masad: 4]

«كَانَتْ تَمْشِي بِالنَّمِيمَةِ وَتَنْقُلُ الْحَدِيثَ فَتُلْقِي الْعَدَاوَةَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ، وَتُوقِدُ نَارَهَا كَمَا تُوقَدُ النَّارُ [بِالْحَطَب]».

Characteristic of a Beautiful Woman
Seeking a beautiful woman is a natural instinct in every human being. It should be understood, however, that her greatest beauty lies in her remaining in her home—something the early Arabs used to value greatly.
A man once said to someone seeking a woman for marriage:
“Let her be one who does not socialise with neighbours, does not weaken the household, and does not stir up…
A Woman Without a Male Guardian is Easy Prey
A woman once came to Makkah to perform Hajj and ʿUmrah. She was very beautiful. When she went to throw the stones at the Jamarāt, the famous poet ʿUmar ibn Abī Rabīʿah, who was known for admiring and praising women, saw her. He spoke to her, but she did not answer.
On the second night, he approached her again. She shouted at him, saying: “Stay away from me! I am in the…
The Woman Who Tried to Deceive Her Husband into Divorce
Imām Ibn Al-Qayyim rahimahullah said:
In Musannaf Wakiʿ, it is mentioned that ʿUmar ibn Al-Khaṭṭāb ruled concerning a woman who said to her husband:
“Call me by an affectionate name.”
So he called her “Adh-dhabiyyah” (gazelle).
She said: “No.”
He said to her: “Then what would you like me to call you?”
She replied: “Call me khaliyyah ṭāliq.”
So he told…
If the thought of cheating ever crosses your mind, remember that cheaters never prosper!
{وَرَ ٰوَدَتۡهُ ٱلَّتِی هُوَ فِی بَیۡتِهَا عَن نَّفۡسِهِۦ وَغَلَّقَتِ ٱلۡأَبۡوَ ٰبَ وَقَالَتۡ هَیۡتَ لَكَۚ قَالَ مَعَاذَ ٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّهُۥ رَبِّیۤ أَحۡسَنَ مَثۡوَایَۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَا یُفۡلِحُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ}
And the lady, in whose house he lived, tried to seduce him. She locked the doors ˹firmly˺ and said, “Come to me!” He replied, “Allah is my refuge! It is ˹not right to betray˺ my master, who has taken good care…
Misconception About Uncovering the Face While in the State of Ihram
Question: May Allah be good to you. He asks: Should a woman cover her face during Hajj, or should she uncover it? And how can she cover her face in front of men when they are so numerous?

The scholars—as stated by the Imām, Al-Faqīh, Al-Hafidh Ibn ʿAbdil Barr—are unanimously agreed that a woman in the…

Sheikh Abdulḥamīd Az-Zu'kari:

"She adheres to a simple, unexaggerated form of covering"
Sheikh Kāmil ḥafidhahullāh:
في الحديث: ((لا تنتقب المرأة))
وبإمكانها أن تضع على رأسها الخمار حتى لو لامس بشرة الوجه فلا يضر.
أما النقاب وما يشابهه فحكمه واحد

Men and Women Pray in the Same Manner
Shaykh ibn Baz rahimahullah said:
"...the correct view is that there is no difference between a man and a woman as far as performance of Salah is concerned. There is no evidence to support the views held by some scholars that a woman's manner of performing Salah differs from that of a man's. The Hadith which you mentioned in the question which reads:
"pray in the same manner…
Overcoming Insecurities
1⃣. Accept Allāh’s Decree
Allāh has created nothing without purpose and nothing inferior. Dissatisfaction with one’s appearance can gradually lead to resentment toward Allāh’s decree.
2⃣. Beautify Yourself Within Allāh’s Limits
It is recommended to improve your appearance through lawful means, such as:
* maintaining cleanliness and grooming
* dressing neatly
* using permissible fragrances
*…
2. He INTENDS divorce NOT BECAUSE OF the COERCION. For example, she places a knife at her throat and says, “If you do not divorce me, I will kill myself.” He thinks to himself, “This woman is troubles
This (the above guidance) applies when the coercion is unjust.
As for coercion that is just, such as when a judge forces the husband into divorcing, for instance when a husband is unjust to his wife and harms her, and reconciliation has failed, and she brings the matter to the judge, who then compels him to divorce her—this type of coercion does not prevent the divorce from taking effect. The scholars call this…
Divorce in the Case of Coercion
Sheikh Sulayman Ar-Ruhaili ḥafidhahullāh mentions:
"Coercion occurs when a man is compelled to divorce by means of a threat that is unbearable, such as killing, severe beating, harming a relative, or harming an innocent person. For example, someone places a gun to the husband’s head and says, “Divorce your wife or I will kill you,” or he says, “If you do not divorce her, we will…

UNITY upon the truth is an OBLIGATION:
{وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا}
“Hold firmly to the rope of Allāh all together and do not become divided.” [Āl ʿImrān: 103]
DISUNITY, on the other hand, is FORBIDDEN—it leads to WEAKNESS and FAILURE:

Question: Our sister asks: “Why are the rulings in Islam seemingly strict upon women, and yet the Prophet ﷺ said that most of the inhabitants of Hell are women?”
Sheikh Ibn Baz rahimahullah:
