Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
Among the first women to embrace Islam after Khadijah were: Fatimah bint al-Khattab, the sister of Umar; Asma bint Abi Bakr al-Siddiq; Asma bint Umays; and Asma bint Salamah. The most probable is that the first among them to embrace Islam were Fatimah bint al-Khattab and Asma bint Abi Bakr, though no definitive text exists to conclusively establish which of them was first.
