Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said, in his biography of 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him and grant him satisfaction), that his wife is Fatimah al-Zahra. Some of them commented that al-Zahra is not a name that has been transmitted from the Salaf.
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
That al-Zahra is a term that has not been transmitted from the Salaf.
The Shaykh:
That is, the Salaf.
The questioner:
The Salafi.
The Shaykh:
No, there is nothing wrong with it. She is al-Zahra (may Allah be pleased with her). Yes.
