Did Muhammad have sex with Aisha when she was 9?

Question

Didn't he married her to protect her? He had sex with her? please details...

Answer 1

Yes he did. She was nine and he was 54. This is what Aisha said:
Sunan Abu-Dawud Book 41, Number 4915, also Number 4916 and Number 4917
Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) married me when I was seven or six. When we came to Medina, some women came. according to Bishr's version: Umm Ruman came to me when I was swinging. They took me, made me prepared and decorated me. I was then brought to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him), and he took up cohabitation with me when I was nine. She halted me at the door, and I burst into laughter.

We can see from these Hadiths she was just a little girl.
Sahih Bukhari Volume 8, Book 73, Number 151
Narrated 'Aisha:
I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play with me. When Allah's Apostle used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but the Prophet would call them to join and play with me. (The playing with the dolls and similar images is forbidden, but it was allowed for 'Aisha at that time, as she was a little girl, not yet reached the age of puberty.) (Fateh-al-Bari page 143, Vol.13)

When we say Muhammad had sex with 9 year old child, Muslims brush it away and bring all sorts of excuses to justify this shameful act. Girls did not reach puperty before 12/13 years a statement which is used to justyfy this act. Many died in giving birth to children because of their underage.

Answer 2

She was married to him at that age? yes. Sex with her? All we know is that they were married, we don't the details! Age of consent for marriage was puberty back in the days and Aisha had reached it and it was her choice to marry. Even in America the age of consent was 9-10 in the late 1800s.

Answer 3

Yes, he married her when she was 6, and had sex with her when she was 9 yrs old.

Protect her!!! from what! it is not like she was an orphan and need a male figure to protect her. She had her father and mother. Muslims, no offense intended, but you know that my post is the truth. Read it for youself. For God Sake if he wanted to protect her! he didn't have to marry her nor have sex with her. He could have protected her, adopt her for example like he did with one of his slaves. But no. He wanted her, and wanted to have sex with a 9 yrs old kid. He was 53 yrs old man, she was only 9 yrs young. I will never understand how the Muslim keep making excess upon excesses to protect him, even when he was sooooo wrong.

No. that is just something the Muslim like to tell the non believer to explain how an old man 53 yrs old would think of marrying a very young girl, 6 yrs old for God Sake. she was still playing with her dolls when her family prepared her for sex with him. Read the Hadith it is written there. I didn't make it up.

When Muhammad asked her dad for her hand for marriage, at first her dad refused, and told him she is like your niece, and it is agianst the religion of Islam. So Muhammad had to come back and tell him that Allah ordered this marriage, and therefore he will marry her, and he did. In a way her father was forced to give her up to Muhammad. The Muslims couldn't refuse anything he wanted and they still today can't even after he died hundreds yeats. They still do whatever he commanded in his life and now in his death.


Someone asked yesterday. If the truth Hurts. Muslims my post is the truth. Don't get hurt by it, and feel offended, it is the truth and you know it. Even when he was wrong, I wish you all Peace. He was just a man, and he made mistakes just like we all do, and this is one of them. He was a warrior. Stop sugar coating his life, and face the facts that he was just a man.

Answer 4

they were married at 9 according to some hadith. but you have to consider the time period. she has reached puberty and that was considered womenhood at that time. please do some research about this and you will see that marriages at puberty were common by christians also. its not right to look at this with the perspective of someone living in the U.S. in 2007. And if you think that hadith is authentic and believe this you should also believe the part when she says they were the happiest days of her life. and also a 9 yr old at puberty is not the same thing as a 9 yr old today. she would look more like a 13 year old, right? i'm not saying marriages at 13 today are ok either i'm just looking at this in perspective. i hope you do the same.

i never said she was an adult i said she had reached puberty. i'm not trying to defend it just because i'm a muslim. you really are not looking at this in perspective. i used to play with dolls till i was 14! that doesn't change that she has reached puberty and that puberty was considered womenhood. the way you act regarding islam is not fair at all.

Answer 5

Here is a detailed answer

There is no doubt that in most countries today it is not acceptable for a 53–year-old man to marry a 9–year-girl. Why? Because it is against the law and against the traditions of the people. This means that if we want to label any action as wrong, then we need to ask: wrong according to what, the law or the traditions?
The Prophet (peace be upon him) never violated the law, the Qur’an descended during his lifetime and never prohibited the Prophet’s acts. Also, the Messenger never violated the traditions and customs of his people, as we all know that he was attacked vigorously by the idolaters, the Jews, and the hypocrites.They lashed out at him boldly and continuously attempted to defame his personality, but they never claimed that he was a pedophile or a child abuser.Y? In fact,using hismarriage to A’ishah,when she was so young, could have been an excellent opportunity to destroy him and to convince his Companions and followers that he was not worthy of following The answer is simply because these kinds of practices wre the norm at that time of the Prophet. Therefore, he didn’t violate the traditions of his people in his time. Prophet Muhammad was also married to Safiyyah, the daughter of Huyayy ibn Akhtab, the leader of a Jewish tribe in Arabia. The Prophet married her when she was 16 years old and guess what? He was her third husband; she was married twice before him. So, how old do you think she was when she got married to her first husband? Probably around 9, just like `A’ishah.
It is mentioned in authentic hadiths that our Prophet got engaged to her when she was 7 years old and waited for two whole years until she reached the age of 9. Then, when she reached puberty, he married her. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica—which is a Western source written by non-Muslim scholars and scientists—puberty is “in human physiology, the stage or period of life when a child transforms into an adult normally capable of procreation,” which essentially means “sexually mature.”
Another surprise is that when he got engaged to her at the age of 7, he was not the first man in her life. She was engaged before him to the son of Uqbah ibn Muayt. He was one of the idol worshipers of the Quraish, who had abandoned her because of her father’s strong position in supporting Islam. What I want to say is that it is unfair to sit in air-conditioning, enjoying popcorn in 2006, and to judge the actions of people who lived 1,400 years ago, in a completely different environment.
You can imagine how a girl would feel if she was abused by an old man. This is completely different from the beautiful stories that `A’ishah narrated about the gentleness, kindness, and romanticism of the Prophet of Allah. Whenever you read the story of the Prophet and `A’ishah, you get the feeling that this was a perfect love story, the kind that Shakespeare was trying to write when he wrote Romeo and Juliet. Except that his story had a sad ending since Romeo committed suicide along with his beloved Juliet.
Make sure to keep in mind the words of Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), a Scottish historian, critic, and sociological writer who said, “The lies, which well-meaning zeal has heaped round this man [Muhammad], are disgraceful to ourselves only.” Many lies were told about God’s Messenger, as well as other messengers and prophets. In addition, our religion tells us that the prophets are the best of mankind, simply because when Allah chose certain people from among His creation, He chose the best.

FURTHEMORE, It should be noted that in the hot regions, it’s normal for a girl to attain maturity at a very early age. Thus the case is totally different from that which does exist in the cold regions where a girl does not attain puberty before 21 [Physicians maintain that the age of puberty in the hot regions normally ranges from 9 to 16]. At all rates, it should be stressed that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, on marrying `Aisha, never aimed at fulfilling a lust or satisfying a desire; rather, his aim was to strengthen his relation with the most beloved Companion of his.
Had it been true that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, aimed at fulfilling a lust or satisfying a desire, he would have done this while still in his youth when he was still free from the responsibilities of delivering Allah’s call. At his early age, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, accepted to marry Khadija, may Allah be pleased with her, who was 15 years older than him He also never married a new wife until after her death. Even after her passing away, his new wife Sawdah bint Zam`ah was an old-aged widow who possessed no particular appealing qualities. This adds to our certainty that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, had many great lofty aims behind his marriages. Also, when Khawlah bint Hakim suggested to him to marry`Aisha, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, thought thoroughly whether to accept or to refuse..

Answer 6

Some say that she was 9. Other sources say she was around 14, which was the normal age for marriage then. There is justification for both beliefs.

Answer 7

prophet muhammad had married her at an age where she wasnt at puberty yet..

they lived together in the same house and he took care of her living needs

he didnt touch her till she became of age tho

it is very normal for a girl that reaches puberty to get married and have children tho, her body and mind is ready as her body is producing the necessary platform to rear children.

girls reached puberty at a very young age in hot climates.

there are many parts of the world were a woman older than 20 is considered an old hag, they just take over responsibility at a very early age.

Answer 8

Do a search online. Muhammed did other stuff with her that would be considered in todays society as pedophilia even before she turned 9. He married her at age 6. You think a man who has a desire to "marry" a baby at the age of 6 is going to keep his hands entirely off her until age 9? No way. There are hadiths that talk about him sucking on her tongue and performing sex acts on her with no actual penetration. It's vile. Before Muhammed died, by poisoning....he was actually setting up a marraige between himself an a baby....a baby under the age of 2 years old. What interest could a man have with a baby girl except that thought brought on by an extreme indulgence in perverse thoughts toward children.

Answer 9

the issue is still disputed.

some say he married her at 5 or 6

others say she was 12 to 19 years of age.

either way he didn't marry her because of loving children in a sexual way as somepeople say.

he married her probably for political purposes and maybe fo protection as you say.

Answer 10

Yikes! I am sure that he did, even now there are child brides being rapped in the middle east.
