How did Fatimah Al-Zahra die?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Fatimah Al-Zahra, may Allah be pleased with her, passed away six months after the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and lived for twenty-five years. The correct account is that Ali and Asma bint Umays washed her body, after Asma bint Umays had instructed that she be covered when carried so that her figure would not be described by her garment. So Asma made for her a covered bier from palm fronds.
