Advice for Women by Ameer Almumineen

In regards to men Women are adviced to:

1.Have pride
2.To be Stingy
3.To be fearful

Imam Ali (as) has said: If a woman has pride, she can not be touched, If she is Stingy she can safe guard her husbands wealth and if she is fearful she will not accept everything that comes her way.

Before People begin to object. Here is the explanation.

A woman who is proud can protect herself, by being inapproachable in the sense that guys are to fearful to come near her as her rection is unexpected. This pride does not necessarily mean she is displaying bad moral standards in a way, she is merely protecting herself, we have to note that this is only in regards to males, not females (unless they are attracted to the same sex, in which case it would probably be very advisable).

Stinginess we have to understand is in terms of not wasting purposely with no ends. Women often tend to buy unnecessary objects, which they dont end up using, the money wasted on such products could actually be put into efficient use, A woman can actually help her husband financially and allow him to prosper if she cut back these inappropriate expenditures. This stinginess should not be confused with that where people do not offer to people.. No one is saying in order to save money you should starve your guests or anything!!! One should know when to be stingy and when not to.

A woman who is fearful can protect herself, in the sense that she does not accpet everything that is put forward to her. She will not commit a sin because she is fearing. This fear does not mean that she is not to stand up for her rights, or to protect her children if they were ever attacked. No. Not that kind of fear. A fear from getting involved in wrong acts is the fear we are speaking of.
