Among those verses used by opponents of Islam and claimants of women`s rights against Islam is: “Give not unto the foolish (what is in) your (keeping of their) wealth, which Allah hath given you to maintain”. The verse forbids giving one`s property to the foolish. The case of the foolish, however, has been viewed differently; as is understood by exegetic views of Sahabeh and Tabe`in, some commentators viewed falsely and, on this basis, opponents viewed women as cases of the foolish and reproach Islam. Yet, as is understood by the study, regarding context of the verses, lexical meaning of the word and the cases of using it in verses and traditions, foolish is of a general meaning and include all those of mental failure among men and women.

Keywords: Verse 5 of Nesa`, Case of Foolish, Quranic Demurs
