432 does not mention anything about being protectors or maintainers, it only states a simple fact, that you reap what you sow.
Salam OPF
Spending is not decreed by gender, but by ability.
Verse 4;34 is narrowed down to couples. What do brothers and sisters have to do with it?
Can you cite where in the quraan women shoul not support a family, or where it is stated that only men should support a family (apart from verse 434, which I do not find it supports spending by a specific gender)? Families are not just a husband and a wife. Many widows support their families, women support their siblings and parents...etc. Moreover, I do not see the wisdom behind leaving a woman under the mercy of her brother.
Look at the context of 434, who is being addressed? Men. Does this change in 436? 438? 439? What do those verses command, command to men, who have been decreed as maintainers who spend from their money?
Women supporting their families may happen, but as I said, it means the male segment of society failed somewhere.

It isn't stated, but don't bring strawman arguments, that isn't my point. 434 very clearly favours that men should be the "breadwinner" and gives a simple reason for that case, several reasons in fact. The simple fact, that no feminist or other can get away from is that men are physically adapted to being "breadwinners", women are not. Were you not the one saying "God has perfected creation but the Sunnis wish to change it by circumcision"? If you feel this isn't a good state of affairs, either wait a few billion years or join the praying mantis' kingdoms. Snappy creatures.

Where is that being said?

"Rijaal" does not primarily mean "men". It means those who seek; on foot. It could be "men" or "women". Also, "nisaa'" is not the plural of "imra'a" but the plural of "nas' " the delayed; remainder, left behind. We find both meanings in the quraan.
You have to notice that the verse speaks about a general situation, not for mu'mins or God believers. And this is the case those who work and earn are responsible for those who are left behind. Unless those earners are God fearing, they can be arrogant and hurting. The verse then gives examples of the female "rijaal" the first "keeps the secret" does not boast around by her spending on those who are vulnerable; the second is arrogant "naashez". It is also familiar that the qur'aan gives exaple of women for a mixed group wife of far3un and ariam as examples to the believers "mu'minuun"; wife of Lot and wife of Noah as example of the disbelievers "kafiruun"
Why would the verse give an example of the "receivers"? Does the quraan EVER tell us whom to spend on (regarding their righteousness) other than about their need?
Where is that being said?
Isn't the whole thing was in response to
what's so wrong about the 2 getting equal share?
also, about inheritance in the quran, why does it say that males get more then females?
And your response
Because
434 - Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property;
The woman has no obligation to do so.

These meanings, are new to me. So a dower is paid to "the delayed/remainder" in 44? How does it work with 415/16? What about, say, 146?

Sorry I was not very clear. The words "rijaal" and "nisaa'" do not only mean "men" and "women", but have other meanings, also used in the quraan.

"People" includes men and women, and they come "rijaala"

"They ask you about "nisaa'", say God will advise you about the mothers of orphans you want to marry without paying them their dues, and the vulnerable children and to be fair with orphans".
"nisaa'" includes all these categories mothers of orphans; vulnerable children and the orphans themselves

And since when did the meaning shift even with the same context?

I do not understand what you mean. You brought up other verses, I replied in general that not everywhere you find "nisaa'" it means "the vulnerable" for example. Just like "rijaal", it does not always mean "seekers/on foot". As for chapter 4, what does it talk about? Mainly orphans, also mothers of rphans and vulnerable children. It is about "the Vulnerable" not "Women"

Salaam, Samia,
I follow what you say with great interest and I feel tha I am learning a lot.
Concerning this ocurrence of "nisaa'" I see that they are referred to as "fihinna". If it is refering to the orphans and vulnerable children, would plural feminine still be used ?
Thanks

Thanks for the interest in what I say.
pronouns follow the word, not its meaning. If we are talking about a "group of men" we will use the feminine singular pronoun for it, since the word jamaa3a is feminine singular, even if it is a group of a hundred male boxers!

Dear Samia
Thanks for input
You saidRijaal" does not primarily mean "men".
Whenever "Rajulun" is in the meaning of "sex" of human beings it is always "man" never "woman"
In fact 'rijaal' (when it is plural of "rajulun= man" does mean "men" primarily" .

( )You are confusing this "rijaal" when it becomes plural of "raajilun" which means "pedestrian" then no doubt it is used for "men" or woman" commonly.But then it does not mean "woman" but " pedestrian"
This is the meaning of "pedestrian" which is given in your quoted verse
2227
(2227) and make a proclamation to the people to come to you for Hajj from far and near, on foot and on lean *46 camels022.027
YUSUFALI "And proclaim the Pilgrimage among men they will come to thee on foot and (mounted) on every kind of camel, lean on account of journeys through deep and distant mountain highways;
PICKTHAL And proclaim unto mankind the pilgrimage. They will come unto thee on foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every deep ravine,
SHAKIR And proclaim among men the Pilgrimage they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, coming from every remote path,This word "rijaalan" in this verse is not in the meaning of" sex" rather in the meaning of "state" of their coming i.e on foot.
You also said
Also, "nisaa'" is not the plural of "imra'a" but the plural of "nas' "
I do not know your source of information;
"Nisaa" is the plural of "imra3atun"/

Your whole concept is revolving aroung the verse
4127
No doubt the question is about "Nisaa" and its answer is expanded.
The reason is "Kuffar" used not give inheritance to women,orphans and Younger ones.It is the reason answer is expanded collectively because of similar treatment carried out in case of inheritance by Kuffaar.
It does not mean at all the word "nisaa" itself contain all those meanings.
Because in that all other verses which contain this word will be compromised in case of meaning. - ( 11 / 265)
