Recent claim by Sheikh Uthman bin Farooq regarding the age of Khadijah at the time of her marriage to the Prophet Muhammad. Sheikh Uthman asserts that the most authentic view, according to Ibn Kathir, is that Khadijah was 25 years old when she married the Prophet. But is that really what Ibn Kathir said? Hatun fact-check this claim by examining the actual sources, including Bidayah wa Nihayah, and expose how quotes from earlier scholars are selectively used or misattributed. see how Islamic tradition is sometimes reshaped and rewritten to suit Muslims need.
