Question:
Assalam o alikum brother,
One of Muslim girl asked it is written in Sahi Muslim that Hazrat Ayesha was got married at the age of 8/9 with Rasoolalha s.a.w when he was at a age of 52 after Hazrat Khadija R.A’s death so is it fair/justice to be married with such a little girl?
Please reply what is the truth. Because I read Seerat e Abu Bakar R.A in which writer Hakeem Mehmood Ahmed Zafar (who was from ahl e sunat al jamait) when the topic comes about the level of ahadith he said although Sahih Muslim and Bukhari are at upper level but some of the ahadith which include rawayat has still some mistakes but because it was written by high level scholar therefore copied as it is and on the topic of Hazrat Ayesha he told she was of age 18. Please share the truth.
