The answer in brief
machinesummary, machine-writtenSeveral works argue Aisha was in her late teens, including ones by Habib al-Rahman Kandhlawi, Salah al-Din al-Idlibi and Khalid al-Jundi. Mufti Abu Layth has read them and the refutations written against them.
In more detail
Answering a follow-up question that is not audible in the recording, Mufti Abu Layth says quite a few works have been written on the topic, more so recently, and that he has read the exchanges between them. He names an early discussion by two authors whose names are unclear in the recording, a work by Maulana Habib al-Rahman Kandhlawi [?], a Deobandi graduate, another by a Maulana whose name is unclear, a critique of the Bukhari report by Shaykh Salah al-Din al-Idlibi [?], a hadith specialist and student of Abd al-Fattah Abu Ghudda [?], a piece by Maulana Faruq Khan [?], and a work by Shaykh Khalid al-Jundi [?], an Azhari scholar, taking a similar approach to the hadith as his own. He says he is aware of the refutations of al-Jundi and of a refutation of Dr Adnan Ibrahim [?] on this point.

ramifications we've understood how it does not make sense to accept that Hadith which is Inari and the truth being uh very different that was in her late teens okay so now let's look at some follow-up questions uh that's a good question there have been quite a few Works written on this topic and more so uh in recent times because it's become a Hot Topic and I am aware I have actually been through quite a few of the the
discussions and the the kind of dialogues the back and forth between several so um I know beginning a very early discussion was by uh abas and and he's has a reputation by uh she Ahmed Shak and that is available as well they have been other people um you've got molana Habib Rahman kandel uh a graduate diand schola who's also written on this there's been another book written by uh
molana Ned on the the age of there's also a work a critique of this whole discussion of bukari written by she uh uh Salah Al a uh once again a a very hadii perspective and he is a specialist in Hadith a student of the very famous M ABD fat so his work on this is is interesting as well he's taken a very similar approach there have also been uh
other works produced Manana Faruk Khan has a piece on this sh khid Al jundi who is an aari scholar has written on this uh once again taking a very similar approach towards the Hadith as I've highlighted he's also one of the member of the in Egypt now I am aware of uh AB Al's reputation of khundi and his work and some of the other reputations I have read through these so it's not that I'm not aware I'm also aware of uh
refuting uh Dr uh Adan ibraim on on this point as well and referring to his hadithi mistakes so it's not so first of all quite a few things have been written on this are available maybe not not exhaustively but several of these I have taken a look at them read from them listen to them I do not find the argument uh as taken by people like Al uh compelling I do not find that convincing that they argue for the this R of bukari to be Supreme and the
