22 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Why do the circumstances of the Prophet's marriage rule out a six-year-old Aisha? The marriage after the year of sorrow was meant to give the Prophet a companion, a carer for his children and a support in the da'wah, which a six-year-old could not provide, and Aisha had been engaged for years to a man whose mother feared she would convert him. Mufti Abu Layth suggests her age was exaggerated downwards after the ifk slander to defend her purity.

11 Jan 2017Mothers of the Believers: The Wives of the Blessed Prophet ﷺ The reality: the year of sorrow and the proposal to Aisha Marriage was proposed to the Prophet in the year of sorrow as support and companionship, which Mufti Abu Layth says makes no sense if Aisha was six. A prior engagement and a fear she would convert her fiance also point to an older girl. Lessonposition checkedthe year of sorrowthe Prophet's journey to Ta'if machine13 min 08 s33:58on YouTube
