Comparison — Menstruation in Islam Vs Christianity

Eating From Her Hand is Permissible
The Prophet’s Conduct with Aisha During Menstruation
Where is the Blame and Insult to Her?
The highlighted sections say that a menstruating woman is considered ritually impure, and that her impurity affects whatever she lies on, sits on, or touches.
Whoever touches her becomes impure until evening.
Anything she lies on during her impurity becomes impure, and anything she sits on becomes impure.
If someone touches her bed, he must wash his clothes, bathe with water, and remain impure until evening.
If her blood continues for many days outside the usual period, she remains impure for all the days of the flow.
It says this makes the woman impure, and everything she touches becomes impure.
They show that Biblical law and Christian commentary contain very strict purity rules regarding menstruation, including the idea that a menstruating woman causes ritual impurity to people, bedding, seats, and objects she touches.
2️⃣ Intellectual Deficiency
Meaning
“…and bring to witness two witnesses from among your men. But if there are not two men, then a man and two women from among those whom you accept as witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other may remind her. And let not the witnesses refuse when they have been informed.” {They were not called upon, and do not tire of writing it down, whether it is small or great, until its term. That is more just in the sight of Allah and more upright as a witness.}
The deficiency here is only related to the issue of giving testimony, as a woman may forget or be overcome by emotion, so Allah commanded the addition of another woman with her to remind her if she forgets {lest one of them should err, then the other may remind her.}

Other Doubts Addressed
The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “Whoever has a daughter born to him and does not love her, does not humiliate her, and does not prefer his son over her - meaning the male - God will admit him into Paradise because of her.” Narrated by Ahmad, no. 1957, and authenticated by al-Hakim.
The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “Whoever has three daughters, educates them, shows them mercy, and takes care of them, Paradise is guaranteed for him.” It was said: “O Messenger of God, what if there are two?” He said: “And what if there are two?” Some of the people thought that if he had said “one,” he would have said “one.” Narrated by Ahmad, 14181, and authenticated by al-Albani.
The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “Whoever has two sisters or two daughters, so he treated them well as long as they were with him. He and I were in Paradise like these two, and he joined his two fingers.”
Narrator: Anas bin Malik | Graded by: Al-Albani | Source: As-Silsilah As-Sahihah | Page/Number: 1026 | Ruling: Authentic according to the sum of its chains of transmission. Graduation: It was narrated by Ahmad (12593) in a similar manner, and by Ibn Abi Shaybah (25945) with a slight difference, and by Al-Khatib in Tarikh Baghdad (8/284) and the wording is his.
And even if they tried, as usual, to disavow the Old Testament, we find Paul, whom they sanctify and his words, saying in his first letter to Timothy: “13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve, 14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived fell into transgression.”
While the Holy Quran informed us that they were both wrong, as in Surat Al-A’raf, verse 22: {So he led them astray by deception. But when they tasted of the tree, their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to patch up. And their Lord called to them, “Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you that Satan is to you a clear enemy?”}
And in Surat Al-Baqarah 36: {So Satan caused them to slip from it and removed them from that in which they had been, and We said, “Descend, some of you an enemy to others. And for you upon the earth is a place of settlement and provision for a time.”}
Then He makes the woman’s pregnancy as if it were a result of Eve’s sin, peace be upon her, as we find in the same book: “16 And He said to the woman, ‘I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth; in pain you will give birth to children. And your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.’”
While in the Qur’an we find something different: {And We have enjoined upon man, concerning his parents. His mother carried him with hardship upon hardship, and his gestation and weaning are in two years. [He said], “Be grateful to Me and to your parents. To Me is the final destination.”} — Luqman / 14
And here I have only mentioned what came in the Noble Qur’an, not to mention some of the Prophet’s hadiths in this regard.
