This is a question of Islamic History

According to the hadith of the ahl bayt , was Bibi Khadija a spinster when she married the Holy Prophet or was she a widow?

Could you provide any references of any hadith from the ahl bayt

Answer by Shk. Karmali

There are 2 theories about H.Khadija as to whether she was married before getting married to the Holy Prophet(SAWW), first and which is famous between sunni and some shia historians that she was married before her marriage to the Holy Prophet (SAWW).

But some historians like Abul Qasim Kufi, Sayyid Murtaza Alamul Huda, Sheikh Tusi in his book talkhis shafi and also Allama majlisi in his Biharul Anwar believe that she was a virgin during her marriage.
