Sunan Abi Dawud 1139 (Book 2, Hadith 750) #21431
Obligations & Prohibitions for Women in Islam

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) commanded the women of Ansar to bring out the menstruating women and virgins for both 'Id prayers, prohibited them from accompanying funeral processions, and declared that Friday prayer is not obligatory on them.

Umm 'Atiyyah said: When the Messenger of Allah came to Medina, he gathered the women of Ansar in a house, and sent to us (to them) 'Umar b. al-Khattab. He stood at the door and gave the salutation to us and we returned it (the salutation) to him. Thereupon, he said: I am the messenger of the Messenger of Allah to you. He commanded us to bring out the menstruating women and the virgins for both the 'Id prayers, and that the Friday prayer is not obligatory on us. He prohibited us to accompany the funeral procession.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، - يَعْنِي الطَّيَالِسِيَّ - وَمُسْلِمٌ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ جَمَعَ نِسَاءَ الأَنْصَارِ فِي بَيْتٍ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْنَا عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَامَ عَلَى الْبَابِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا فَرَدَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَنَا رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُنَّ ‏.‏ وَأَمَرَنَا بِالْعِيدَيْنِ أَنْ نُخْرِجَ فِيهِمَا الْحُيَّضَ وَالْعُتَّقَ وَلاَ جُمُعَةَ عَلَيْنَا وَنَهَانَا عَنِ اتِّبَاعِ الْجَنَائِزِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Bring out menstruating woman and virgins for both Id Prayers

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the obligations and prohibitions of women in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad PBUH commanded the women of Ansar to bring out menstruating women and virgins for both 'Id prayers, which are two religious festivals celebrated by Muslims. He also prohibited them from accompanying funeral processions as a sign of respect towards those who have passed away. Lastly, he declared that Friday prayer is not obligatory on them. This hadith teaches us that although there are certain obligations placed upon Muslim women, they are still given certain privileges such as being exempt from attending Friday prayer services. It also teaches us to show respect towards those who have passed away by refraining from joining their funeral procession.
