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.
