To what extent is the narration of Yusuf's -peace be upon him- marriage to Zulaikha, the wife of Al-Aziz, authentic?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Many exegetes mentioned that Yusuf (peace be upon him) married the wife of Al-Aziz after her husband’s death. An account from Zayd ibn Aslam to this effect has been reported, but this account has not been authentically transmitted from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and it is likely taken from the People of the Book.
