Discussing secondary issues of Islam with a kaafir

· 1 Muharram 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

How do I answer a non-muslim on the question of our beloved Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam's) marriage to a nine year old girl Sayaditana Aaisha (Radiyallahu Anha).

Answer

When he has not embraced Islam and has not accepted the fundamental beliefs and actions of Islam, then it is pointless discussing secondary issues of Deen with him.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
