22 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth How old was Aisha when she married the Prophet? Writers such as Ruqaiyyah Waris Maqsood and Jamal Badawi conclude that Aisha was in her teens, and the report that her sister Asma died at a hundred in the year 73 puts her at about eighteen when she moved in with the Prophet. The guest explains the hadith's six and nine as numbers exaggerated downwards, as Khadija's forty was exaggerated upwards.

19 Sep 2019Responding to Refutations How old was Aisha when she married the Prophet? Mufti Abu Layth says the report that Aisha was six or nine is false and that she was in her late teens, about seventeen to nineteen. Promoting the child-marriage story and then taking offence at the charge of paedophilia is irresponsible.

21 Feb 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Why did Safiyya ride with the Prophet on the way back from Khaybar? Because others were abusing her, the Prophet freed her and had her ride with him, laying out a cloth and offering his knee for her to mount, and covering her with his cloak when the camel fell. Mufti Abu Layth says this was kindness, not a marriage.
