It is important to keep the respect of women not to bow in Ruku' and prostrate in Sujood in front of men. Men should not see the women bowing down or prostrating. The rows of women should be behind the rows of men.

Man . Wealth . Sadaqa (Charity)

What is the recommended way in Islam to give tips? If a man is wealthy, should he give tips to cashiers, witnesses, or beggars every time he encounters them or when asked?

It is always good to give gifts to people to encourage them to do more good. It is not good to give tips to every one even if they are not deserving. Wasting money is not good. Keep your gifts for those who deserve it.

Woman . Hadith . Nahj al-Balagha . Man

Are the narrations in Nahj Al Fasahah authentic that state that, in the absence of women, God would be properly worshipped and all men would go to heaven? If so, what is the context behind these narrations?

The Qur'an does not express these negative ideas about women. Also, the Qur'an makes everyone responsible for their own acts (that is, men cannot blame women for their actions). It also conflicts the kind and respectful way that the Prophet (S) treated his womenfolk and female sahabah. Therefore, narrations which appear to contradict the Qur'an and Sunnah can be set aside.

This particular hadith is not in any strong source books - it appears to have been taken from Jami' al-Saghir by al-Suyuti (15th century, Egyptian, Sunni) - so it can be set aside as not having any evidence to support it as an authentic statement of the Prophet (S).

As for where it came from, possibly someone said it as a reflection of the age-old tensions between men and women in life and it became attributed to the Prophet (S). These types of negative views about women and religion existed for a long time before Islam and could have come from there.

Woman . Woman . Husband . Man . Polygamy

Why are women required to cover themselves while men are not? Additionally, why are men permitted to have up to four wives whereas women can only have one husband?

We believe in Allah's absolute Wisdom and Knowledge and Mercy,b that is why we never argue with any rule from Allah. We know that He Knows all the reasons even if we don't know. Real believers submit to all the rules which came from Allah (SWT) through His Messenger (SAWA).

We might know part if the reason but can never expect knowing full reason because of our limitations as human beings.

Woman covering her body might be related to the fact that woman in her nature is more attractive to men, that is why she needs to cover herself.

Woman is allowed one husband only at the time, because of her dignity and respect which part of her creation as a human female. Usually, noble females from any faith or religious or cultural background, don't accept nor digest having more than one husband at the time. That is part of her nature.

Woman . Man

What are the obligatory responsibilities for a woman in Islam in contrast to men?

Husband and wife have responsibilities toward each other as well as rights. Husband is responsible to provide all livelihood expenses for his wife and protect her and look after her emotional needs and treat her as he wants her to treat him as read in Quran (And for them (wives) is like what is required by them with fairness and men have a degree on them)(2:228).

Wife has responsibility towards her husband to fulfill his needs as a husband as far as she can and to obey him in lawful things which concern his life and to be with him and not leave him when he needs her.

Both husband and wife are responsible to treat each other with respect and humor as the aim of marriage is peace of mind and heart. Sura Al-Room, verse 21.
