Nana Aisha R.A was an amazing woman, educationally enlightened, witty, and strong. It is believed that she has contributed 1/3rd of our shari'ah. It is even said that the prophet Muhammad SAW told the believers to consult her in his absence. A lot of books have been..

written about her.
Sadly, Nana Aisha's contribution has been totally over shadowed by the quest for her age! Either by those willing to paint Islam in a terrible light or by others trying to justify forced or child marriage.
Both is not reason enough to attach importance to...

Only to her age, while we neglect that she is an exceptional woman and a beloved companion of the prophet Muhammad SAW.
This thread is not about Nana Aisha sadly, it is about a fact that everyone seem to have an opinion on these days. The age of consent of a lady.

Bear in mind that the contents of this thread is not a bunch of my opinion. Rather a bunch of opinions from respected ulamaas.
Before we start, pin this hadith to the most easily accessible part of your brain.
"Let there be no harm, nor any reciprocation of harm"

Marriage is categorized under mu'amalaat, I.e historically contingent social interactions. This makes it a contractual relationship not a sacrament, also making consent the key to its validity.
Even though there is no assigned age for marriage, "4:6 attainment of reason"...

Is enough guide for a society to decide the age that is seen dim fit for a people to be called "consenting adults" because make no mistake, even some men are victims of child and forced marriages. I can go on to talk about how it is medically unfit for young people to be in...

Such situations, how the authenticity of "that" hadith in the first place is agreed by a lot of scholars to be compromised. So on.. But that would make this thread too long. I don't think that the age of being a consenting adult 1400 years ago is the same as now.

If you as a man with an opportunity to get access to this tweet think that the marriage between a 9year old and a 30 or 50 year old will bring about a marriage with "30:21, peace, comfort, tranquillity and fulfilment of natural instincts"

Then know that you are trying too hard to give reasons, keep in mind though that you would be totally terrified if you were married off at that same age.
Nana Aisha is not a victim in your agenda, nor is she a reason in..

Your Discourse. So calm down and reason, before you marry off your daughter or before marrying someone else's daughter at such a tender age, while bearing in mind that she is unable of defending herself against these modern men, this modern men that are in no way as tender or..

Mindful as the prophet.
Also, there is a hadith that States that, Nana Aisha was 10 years younger than lady Asma'u "28". That makes Nana Aisha 18 from that narrative.
The initial hadith was said to have a discripancy of (at-tawahhum qawl al-murawī).
