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))
7. 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 wears Perfume and goes
out (to the market or mosque):
It was narrated from Abu Moosa (RA) 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
(SAW) 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 (RA) 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.
