Islam - Re: Muhammad and Aisha

Expert: MuslimHood - 11/1/2009

Question
Salaam.

I was reading that the Prophet Muhammad married Aisha when she was 6 and consummated the marriage when she was 9. Is this true, and how can this be justified?

Answer
Glory be to Allah!

Wa'3laykum assalam warahmatullahe wabarakatuhu!

Yes, it is true.
‘Urwah said: "Khadeejah died three years before the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) migrated to Madeenah. He stayed alone for two years or thereabouts, then he married ‘Aa’ishah when she was six years old, and consummated the marriage when she was nine years old." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 3607)
The phrase "he married ‘Aa’ishah" means that the marriage contract was drawn up; the marriage was consummated later on, when she was nine.
‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) married her when she was six years old and consummated the marriage when she was nine years old, and she stayed with him for nine years." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 4738)

I hope it is quite clear through the above mentioned authentic references.
