I don’t think anyone can answer that question with confidence. I know the classical argument about how the ahadeeth about the age of Aisha came from 5 students of Hisham Ibn Urwa while he was in Iraq, and therefore text is unreliable because Hisham Ibn Urwa had reached an old age and had dementia, as well as problems with remembering details, therefore all his students who reported from him in Iraq are also unreliable (isnad crumbles and so does matn). That would seem to put the age 6 marriage and age 9 comsummation argument you in the trash. However, it doesn’t actually debunk the idea that she could have been that age. There are plenty of rebuttals to your argument, but let’s be really honest mate. That’s not your issue.You cant answer the basic question regarding Aisha'a age or offer a defense of your faulty ositions... so your go-to pivot is to question my worship? There aint a hadeeth you wont violate is there?
As you’ve stated earlier, you are having problems reconciling your idea of moral normality with that of the 7th century. So why are you playing the hadeeth card? Because it’s convenient? I’m here to let you know it’s anything but convenient. You will not be able to objectively prove anything about the age of Aisha using the ahadeeth, you will only be able to come up with an approximation for the minimum and maximum age of Aisha from the hadeeth. Nothing objective. Let’s not forget, the Arabs never celebrated birthdays or even kept a record of when babies were born like we do today. Your whole premise, is wrong. It’s premature and hinging on the futility of your flawed understanding of the hadeeth.
in an earlier post I asked if you was a mufti to try to make you realise how underwhelming your understanding is. You replied with “I’m not mufti, Shia, Sunni, Sufi” etc and I actually laughed because the title “mufti” doesn’t fall within a sect. A mufti is actually the highest accolade a scholar can reach in Islam and you thought it was a sect. Mate, if you are this green around the ears when it comes to this stuff, you shouldn’t be here taking the high ground. Coz it’s embarrassing seeing you make a right tit out of yourself.
