Dar Al-Iftaa Clarifies Women and Hell
The Egyptian Dar Al-Ifta has affirmed that there is no authentic religious basis in the Quran or Sunnah to suggest that women enter Hellfire before men. Such interpretations are considered common explanatory misunderstandings lacking a sound foundation. The Secretary of the Fatwa clarified that the criteria for reward and punishment in Islam are linked to righteous deeds and faith, not to sexual or gender aspects. People's fates in the Hereafter depend on piety and worship, regardless of gender. He also emphasized that the hadith which states that women are more numerous in Hellfire was presented in the context of admonition and warnings against certain behaviors. Numerous texts encourage women with good news of Paradise, and the ultimate fate of individuals is known only to God's divine knowledge.
