Women are the Cause of Evil Omen
It is obvious that Sahih of al-Bukhari is a source upon which all of the Islamicists
depend whenever they want to learn Muhammad’s Hadith (sayings), and consequently, to
know Islamic laws and ordinances which the Qur’an doesn’t mention. If we open part
VII of Sahih of al-Bukhari which is translated into English (page 21), we read:
"Allah’s apostle said: ‘Evil omen is in the woman, the house and the horse."’
On the same page (21), we encounter the interpretation of the above statement as
follows: "The evil omen of a woman is her bad character". The reader may wonder
(if there is such a thing as an "evil omen") why it is said then that a woman who
has bad character is the cause. Why it is not said that a bad person (in general,
whether a male or female) may cause an evil omen; that is if there is such a thing.
Why is it always a woman? If a woman walks in front of a man while he
prays, he has to repeat his prayer because it does not count. Since a woman has bad
character, she causes an evil omen. In the first case, Muhammad equates her with a
donkey and a dog. In the second case, he reduces her to the level of a horse and a
house. The woman! Always the woman! She is always persecuted in Islam. Even
Muhammad believed that the majority of the people in hell are women, as it was
revealed to him.
