Woman wearing Masculine Clothes is deprived of Heaven

It is stated in a Hadith that the woman who adopts masculine
styles will be deprived of Heaven. The woman who wears
masculine clothes, shoes, or has a masculine hairstyle also deserves
the same punishment. Often, this issue is not considered when
dressing children. (Allah forbid) sometimes, the boys are
made to wear the dress of girls making them look like girls and
similarly, girls are made to wear shirts & trousers along with a
hat making them look like boys. It is a sin to get your
daughters wear boyish dress or masculine hairstyle. Henna can
be applied on the palms and feet of the girls only, applying
henna on the hands or feet of boys is a sin. (Raddul-muhtar v9,
p522, Dar-ul-kutubul Ilmiyya Beirut)
Do not dress your children in clothes which have pictures of
living things on them. Do not apply nail polish on children's
nails and the children’s mother should never also do so because
wudu & ghusl will not be complete.

Three types of People are deprived of Heaven

Parents and the (blood relatives) deserve our polite
behaviour more than every one else in society but unfortunately,
a little attention is paid to this matter. Some people look very
humble and well-mannered in general public but they mistreat
their family-members. Drawing the attention of such people, I
would mention the Hadith narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah
ibn Umar radi allahu anhu. Therefore, the beloved of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam
said, “Three people will not enter the Heaven: the one
who distresses his parents, the Dayyuth (TE 3 ) and the woman
who adopts masculine style.” (Majma’uz Zawaaid, Hadith 13431, V8,
P270, Dar-ul-Fikr Beirut)

How shall we save our family members from Hell?

It is stated in Khazain-ul-Irfaan with regard to the forgoing
verse, “(save yourselves and your families from the fire of Hell)
by obeying Allah and His beloved Prophetsallallahu alaihi wasallam,
performing worship, refraining from sins, guiding your families
towards goodness and forbidding them from evils and by
teaching them knowledge & etiquettes.”

The Cause of most Women’s being in Hell?

Some women are extremely disobedient and ungrateful to
their husbands. If they are offended even slightly, they forget
all the previous kindnesses and favours and start cursing their
husbands. Those women who often curse and annoy their
husbands should repent immediately; once the Prophet of
Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam was going to the Eid-Gah on Eid day. He
sallallahu alaihi wasallam passed by some women and said, “Oh women!
Give charity as I have seen most of you in the Hell.” The
women asked, “Ya Rasool-Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallamL! What is the
reason for this?” The Prophet of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam
replied, “You often curse and are ungrateful to your husbands.”
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith 304, V1, P123, Dar-ul-Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut)
