to care for them and keep them
company feel lonely, unloved and
sad too.
Like all human beings, widows,
spinsters and divorced women
need not only food, clothing and
homes in which to live, but also
warmth, comfort and love.
The best way to care for these
women is for Muslim men in the
neighbourhood who can afford to
take a second wife to marry
them.
This was the way in which our
beloved Prophet Muhammad [s]
and his Companions [r] took care
of widows, spinsters and
divorced women.
The Muslim community must
also establish special homes to
shelter those widows, spinsters
and divorced women who have
no family to support them.
These homes must be comfort-
able and safe.
