Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
The exact number of wives of the Companion Khalid ibn al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) is not mentioned in the books of سير (biographies) and history. However, among those mentioned are: Kabshah bint Hawdhah al-Udhriyah (mother of his son Sulaiman), Umm Tamim al-Thaqafiyah (mother of his son Abdullah), Layla bint Sinan, and Asma bint Anas ibn Mudrik al-Khath'amiyah (mother of al-Muhajir, Abdul Rahman, and the elder Abdullah). We advise the questioner to focus on what benefits him in his religion and his worldly life.
