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.
