He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is Maryam, the mother of Ibrahim, the son of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), considered one of the Mothers of the Believers?
Answer:
She was not a wife of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); rather, she was a concubine, a slave woman whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took as a concubine, and she bore him Ibrahim. She is called the mother of a child (umm walad), not a wife. The Muqawqis, the king of Egypt, gifted her to him. Yes, she was a Copt from the Copts of Egypt. Yes.
