Most of you know I don’t place a lot of weight on ahadith. The Qur’an is the Word of God and the only necessary source. Ahadith are nice when they fortify our faith, but so many—even the ones supposedly considered ‘reliable’ that are somehow always narrated by those who hated women—have the opposite effect on …
