Is Fatimah Az-Zahra' purified from menstruation?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It has not been proven that Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) did not menstruate. The narrations that mention this are fabricated and forged, such as: "My daughter Fatimah is a human houri; she did not menstruate nor did she experience postpartum bleeding. Allah named her Fatimah because He has weaned her and her lovers from the Fire." Al-Dhahabi, Al-Suyuti, and others affirmed that its chain of narration is obscure and contains unknown narrators. The fundamental principle is that Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), like other women, was subject to menstruation, which Allah has decreed for them, and she is not exempted from this except by authentic evidence, which does not exist.
