Umm Kulthum bint Ali's marriage to Umar ibn al-Khattab is established, and they were blessed with a son and a daughter. Umar married her during his caliphate and honored her exceedingly, giving her a dowry of forty thousand dirhams due to her lineage from the Messenger of Allah. She bore him Zayd ibn Umar al-Akbar and Ruqayyah bint Umar. There is no room for dispute regarding this marriage, just as the Prophet married Aisha when she was nine years old.
