Christian/Muslim ThreadsMuhammad on trial: Part 1.Thank you H2O,
You have contended that Aisha didn't qualify to be a woman (nisaa'a) due to her age, and thus Muhammad couldn't have married her. Can you confirm for us what is meant by the following terms; 1. Sinn at-Tamyiiz - age of discretion, between 7 and 10. 2. Sinn al-Muraahaqah - age of puberty, between 10 and 14. 3. Sinn al-Buluugh - age of maturity, around 15. From your post I have understood that a girl cannot be married (nikkah and walima) during "Sinn at-Tamyiiz", but maybe she can be betrothed (nikkah). From you post I have understood that a woman can be married during "Sinn al-Muraahaqah" Isn't it possible that Aisha had reached the age of puberty (Sinn al-Muraahaqah) at nine years old, thereby qualifying her for marriage? But for most Christians this still represents a problem as "Sinn al-Muraahaqah" can be reached between the ages of 10 and 14, and in extreme cases even before the age of 10. For most Christians "Sinn al-Buluugh" represents the appropriate age for marriage, though I have yet to see a scriptural basis for this reasoning. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten your point that other Hadiths suggest she was older. Is it possible that those Hadiths were confused about the dates associated with Aisha's birth and marriage? And wouldn't Aisha know the date of her own marriage better than anybody else? . |
