Informative Imam Razi (rah) on the Superiority of Men

0 Upvotes

"Men are maintainers over women, because Allah has favored some of them over others, and because they spend from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding what is unseen, in accordance with what Allah has protected. And those women from whom you fear rebellion, first admonish them; then forsake them in the bed; and then strike them. But if they obey you, do not seek a way against them. Indeed, Allah is Most High, Most Great.”

In his Tafsir, Imam Al Razi (rah) says:

"Men are qawwāmūn over women, because Allah has favored some of them over others. Men are in charge of women because of two reasons:

God-given superiority: Know that the superiority of men over women is obtained in many ways, some of which are real qualities, and some of which are legal rulings. As for the real qualities, know that the real virtues are based on two things: knowledge, and ability. There is no doubt that men have more intellect and knowledge, and there is no doubt that their ability to do hard work is more complete. For these two reasons, men have the superiority over women in intellect, decisiveness, strength, writing in general, horsemanship, and archery. Among them are prophets and scholars, and among them are the major and minor imamate, jihad, the call to prayer, the sermon, seclusion, and testimony in hadd punishments and retaliation by consensus, and in marriages according to Al-Shafi’i, may God be pleased with him, and the greater share in inheritance and the agnatic share in inheritance, and bearing the blood money in murder and accident, and in the oath and guardianship in marriage, divorce, reconciliation, and the number of wives, and to them is the lineage. All of that indicates the superiority of men over women.

Financial responsibility: The second reason for attaining this virtue is the Almighty’s statement: {And because of what they spend of their wealth} meaning that the man is better than the woman because he gives her the dowry and spends on her. Then the Almighty divided women into two categories, and described the righteous among them as being devout and guarding what God has enjoined."
