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.

25 Jul 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran Does the word 'women' in Surah al-Talaq rule out children? Yes: the passage opens with nisa, women, a word never used of a six- or seven-year-old, just as boys are never called rijal, and the verses go on to envisage pregnancy, which nobody would expect of a child.

30 Nov 2018Mothers of the Believers: The Wives of the Blessed Prophet ﷺ What evidence suggests Aisha was older than nine when she married? Mufti Abu Layth argues that a six-year-old could not have been the help the Prophet needed, and that the battle reports, her earlier engagement, her age at death and her memory of a Makkan verse point to her being at least seventeen.

11 Jan 2017Mothers of the Believers: The Wives of the Blessed Prophet ﷺ The reports: Bukhari's six and nine against three other Bukhari reports The six-and-nine report conflicts with three other Bukhari reports: Aisha as a jariyah at an early revelation, her memory of her parents' Islam and Abu Bakr's migration, and her presence at Uhud when a fourteen-year-old boy was refused.

11 Jan 2017Mothers of the Believers: The Wives of the Blessed Prophet ﷺ The reports: Hisham's Iraqi transmission, Madinan silence and Asma's age The six-and-nine report rests on Hisham ibn Urwa's later Iraqi transmission and no Madinan compiler carries it. Asma's reported age makes Aisha about eighteen at her marriage. Lessonposition checkedHisham ibn UrwaImam MalikIbn Shihab al-ZuhriIbn Hajar [?] machine5 min 12 s57:37on YouTube
