Question
I am sending you a thesis written on the marriage of Hadhrat Aishah (radhiyallahu anha) to Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). The thesis 'proves' that she was an adult when she was married, and that the Ahaadith in Bukhaari, Muslim, etc. which aver that she was 7 years are all spurious. Please comment.
Answer
The thesis is old hat, old bunkum disgorged by the writer – old hat disgorged to appease western palates. The entire edifice of the Deen rests on the authentic Ahaadith. In fact the authenticity of the Qur'aan is reliant on the authenticity of the Ahaadith. Without Hadith there is no Qur'aan and no Islam. The Saheeh Ahaadith confirm the age of Hadhrat Aishah (radhiyallahu anha) as 6 or 7 years at the time of the Nikah. No amount of skulduggery of modernists who are indoctrinated by their western masters will be able to change the facts of reality.
