THE TEN ACCURSED WOMEN
The following are the ten sinful women or those
women who are accursed and who will be
removed from the mercy of Allaah ﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ:
1. Tattooing: the one who does it and the one
who gets it done.
2 Plucking the eyebrows:
The doers and the
one who gets it done.
3. Artificially creating space between the teeth
to look beautiful: the doers and the one who
gets it done.
Source (Hadith): ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood said: I
heard the Messenger of Allah saying,
❝Allah has cursed the woman who does tattoos
and the one who has them done, the woman who
plucks eyebrows (al-naamisah) and the one who
has it done (al-mutanammisah), and the one who
files her teeth for the purpose of beauty, altering
the creation of Allaah.❞
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5931; Muslim, 2125)
4. Adding false hair: the provider of false hair
and the one who gets it done.
Source (Hadith): Narrated Ibn `Umar and Abu
Hurairah :
The Prophet ﷺ has cursed the
lady who lengthens her hair artificially and the
one who gets her hair lengthened, and also the
lady who tattoos (others) and the one who gets
herself tattooed.
(Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5933, 5934, 5937, 5940,
5942, 5947, ) and Saheeh Muslim (5298, 5300)
and also reported on the authority of `Aaishah)
5. The woman whose husband is angry at her:
Source (Hadith): Narrated Abu Hurairah:
The Prophet said,
❝If a woman spends the night deserting her
husband's bed (does not sleep with him), then
the angels send their curses on her till she
comes back (to her husband).❞
(Saheeh Buhari (3237, 5193, 5194) and Saheeh
Muslim (3366, 3368)
*6. Those who imitate men:
Source (Hadith): Narrated Ibn `Abbaas: Allah’s
Messenger ﷺ cursed those men
who are in the similitude (assume the manners)
of women and those women who are in the
similitude (assume the manners) of men.
(Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5885))
. Those Women who are Ungrateful to their
Husband:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The Prophet said,
❝I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority
of its dwellers were women who were
ungrateful.❞
It was asked, ❝Do they disbelieve in Allah?❞ (or
are they ungrateful to Allah?
The prophet replied,
❝They are ungrateful to their husbands and are
ungrateful for the favors and the good
(charitable deeds) done to them. If you have
always been good to one of them and then she
sees something in you (not of her liking), she will
say, 'I have never received any good from you.❞
(Saheeh al- Bukhaaree Vol. 7 Hadith no.5197)
*8. Those Women who wear Perfume and go out
(to the market or mosque):*
It was narrated from Abu Moosa (Radiyyallahu
Anhu) that the Prophet said,
❝If a woman puts on perfume and passes by
people so that they can smell her fragrance, then
she is such and such,❞
And he (Salalahu Alayhi Wasalam) spoke sternly
- meaning an adulteress (zaaniyah).
(Narrated by Abu Dawood (4173) and al-Tirmidhi
(2786); classed as saheeh by Ibn Daqeeq al-Eid
in al-Iqtiraah (126) and by Shaykh al-Albaani in
Saheeh al-Tirmidhi)
N.B : It is not permissible for women to put on
perfume, whether she is going to the mosque or
anywhere else; rather it is narrated that women
are specifically forbidden to use perfume when
going to the mosque.
Source (Hadith):
It was narrated that Zaynab, the wife of ‘Abd-
Allah ibn Mas‘ood (may Allah be pleased with her
and her husband) said:
The Messenger of Allaah said to us,
❝If one of you (women) wants to go to the
mosque, let her not put on perfume.❞
(Saheeh Muslim (443))
*9. Women making a wanton display of
themselves (Tabarruj) and showing their charms
and not adhering to correct Islamic hijab and
noble Islamic manners.*
*10. Those Women who pile their hair on top of
their heads(camel hump hijab), they will not see
Paradise or smell its fragrance:*
Narrated Abu Hurayrah (Radiyyallahu Anhu) that
the Prophet ﷺ said:
❝There are two types of the people of Hell whom
I have not seen: men with whips like the tails of
cattle with which they strike the people, and
women who are clothed but naked, walking with
an enticing gait, with something like the humps
of camels on their heads.
They will not enter Paradise nor even smell its
fragrance, and its fragrance can be smelled from
such and such a distance.❞
(Saheeh Muslim)
Al-Nawawi said concerning the meaning of this
passage: “clothed yet naked” means that they
will uncover part of their bodies to show their
beauty, so they will be clothed yet naked.
And it was said that they will wear thin clothes
which shows what is beneath them, so they will
be clothed yet virtually naked.
My prayer is that may majority of our women
who fall into the category of accursed women
not die in this state by Allah's will Aameen . The
consequences are grave but they do not seem to
know. Allah's aid is sought
