How did Hadrat Aisha (RA) die?
Question
Jazakallah Khair
Answer
Due to our recent relocation to Camperdown, at present we do not have access
to may resource texts. However, we have managed to confirm this much:
1. Hadhrat Aaisha (Radhiallaahu Anhu) passed away on Tuesday night, 17th
Ramadhaan 57 or 58 AH in Madinah Munawwarah.
2. She instructed that she be buried in Jannatul Baqee alongside the other
Azwaaj-e-Mutahharah (pure wives of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). Her
burial took place at night (for reasons of Hijaab and concealment).
3. Her Salaatul Janaaza was performed by Abu Hurayra (Radhiallaahu Anhu) who
was then the governor of Madinah Munawwarah.
