How should we understand the hadith, A woman is the string of the devil?
In the hadith, A woman is the string of the devil, (Ghazali volume 3, p.87) it is expressed mens painful fate that fall in illegitimate love affair and their loss of eternal happiness, in a concise way. Those, who are the strings of the devil, who follow him, are the women who endanger both their eternal life (in the hereafter) and also urge others to the way of Haram (refer to anything that is prohibited by the faith; religiously forbidden).
If a young girl, without knowing with whom she is going to marry while she has a long education life waiting for her; while who is going to die is unknown; while she has only one to marry among hundreds of men whom she has possibly indulged sensually; shows off her body with ease; it means that she could not have got the truth about love, and unconsciously becomes the string of the devil.
The devil hunts the chastities, decencies, honors, and eventually faiths of many young girls with that string. After corrupting the dreams and devastating the inner worlds of many, until the day of her wedding she lives in her harams.
If this kind of life would end with marriage, there will be left a great period with full of sins and rebellions. On the other hand, if the marriage would not happen as it does mostly because of paltry reasons, besides the torments of the hell fire in the hereafter; there will be impacts on both sides imposed on a matter of conscience in this world for lifelong.
The hadith, which defines women as the strings of the devil, warns women to pay attention and at the same time warns men who has become the slaves to lust and passion by announcing by whom they have really been entrapped. With this hadith, a man who has become the slave to lust depicted as a fish entrapped by the devil.
