Is it permissible for Maria the Coptic and other concubines of the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) to marry after his death?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is forbidden to marry any woman with whom the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had intercourse, whether she was a wife or a slave-girl. This is one of his unique characteristics. Mariyah, the mother of Ibrahim, may Allah be pleased with her, was a slave-girl, and scholars have unanimously agreed on the prohibition of marrying her after the death of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.
