I really hope I don’t seem disrespectful !! So I don’t know the exact Hadith but I think it was eid and the prophet pbuh told a group of women that the majority of hellfire will be a specific type of women, when they asked why, he said that they curse frequently and are ungrateful to their husbands. Then he said “I have never seen anyone as deficient in intellect/reason and religion as you.” And I don’t understand a few things about this. Firstly, what does the wording imply ?? I don’t wanna be disrespectful and maybe I’m just sensitive, because the wording “I have never seen anyone as ______ as you” feels a little harsh to me and as if ur implying something bad 😓 I don’t wanna be disrespectful I just wanna understand better. And second, I know that two female witnesses equal to one male witness (In financial transactions/deals) because women weren’t really exposed to financial deals at the time so then if one woman gets confused, the other can help. But what does that have to do with intellect/reason ?? Two female witnesses being equal to one male witness doesn’t equal to a general deficiency in intellect/reason ?? And I think maybe he meant deficiency in reason in the financial context but then why was that wording used and what did it hahe to do with the original conversation ?? Also I don’t understand what the entire statement had to do with the context of the situation. They asked why he said that the majority of hellfire will be a specific type of women and he answered them and then he made that statement after, but what did that have to do with the original question ?? Especially since the deficiency in reason referred to the testimony thing. Maybe I’m just stupid idk. Again, I really don’t wanna seem disrespectful and if I was disrespectful I am really sorry

Edit: Maybe I’m js sensitive but I think some ppl didn’t quite understand my questions 😓

1. What did the prophet mean by “I have never seen anyone as deficient in reason and religion as you” ?
   Again, maybe I’m just sensitive but with the wording it sounds like (to me) as if it’s implying that the deficiency in reason (the testimony ruling) and religion (since women are excused from certain acts of worship during menstruation) are something bad, even though they’re not.

2. Why did he bring it up ? It had nothing to do with the original question the women were asking (why the majority of hellfire is specific types of women)

3. ⁠the prophet explained the deficiency in reason with the fact that two female witnesses equal to one male witness (due to possible confusion since women were usually not exposed to financial deals at the time). But why would the testimony thing mean that women lack the general reasoning ability when the ruling he was referring to is clearly contextual ??

I hope I worded it better now (◞‸◟)

Astaghfirullah I’m still struggling with my prayers because everything exhausts me (it doesn’t get better with time. I used to pray most of my prayers for months but it didn’t get much easier) and even when I do pray, I can’t concentrate at all and probably pronounce everything wrong because I don’t speak arabic so idk if my prayers are being accepted. My energy levels are genuinely so horrible and idk why. I don’t even know how many prayers I missed because I don’t remember when I started puberty but it’s definitely a LOT and like I said I still struggle severely even now. And just the thought of having to make up all those prayers genuinely makes me cry. I’ve heard about praying each prayer twice but that doesn’t help me at all. I don’t know if I’ll ever manage to pray all my prayers let alone make all of them up
