The answer

The story of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and the captive is authentic, and there is nothing in it that blemishes her; rather, it is a virtue for her. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for her purity and cleanliness, affirmed her faith, and clarified that his prayer against her was due to his human nature, not for a Shar’i (legal) reason. She died, and her hand was not cut off. Moreover, a Muslim must avoid disputing with people of misguidance and listening to their specious arguments unless he is well-grounded in Islamic knowledge.
