Historical Status Of Haleema Sadia

[Umer]

As far as we know there’s nothing questionable about that.

[Jhanzaib Tariq]

کیونکہ میرے ایک شیعہ دوست ہیں۔۔وہ کہتے ہیں کہ یہ جھوٹ ہے۔۔کہ نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو کوئی غیر محرم عورت دودھ پلائے۔۔۔آپ کا جواب چاہیئے۔۔رہنمائی کر دیں۔۔

As far as the matter of Halima Sadia is concerned, one should note that this is a matter of historical scrutiny, which does indicate that She did in fact breastfed Him (sws). But these matters have no bearing on primary premises of religion, and believing them or not, does in no way effect one’s understanding of the religion and application of that religion in one’s practical life.
