Question:
The verse says “O sister of Aaron” instead of “O sister of Moses.” Why was she not attributed to Moses?
Answer:
The Aaron you know is Aaron, the brother of Moses. There is a very long time between her and Moses and Aaron. The intended meaning is an Aaron of her time. As for whether he was a righteous man, yes, Allah knows best, but he is not Aaron, the brother of Moses (peace be upon them both).
