Did Hz. Yusuf marry Zulaykha?
In the explanations of some of the Quran translations, it is written that Hz. Yusuf did not marry Zulaykha and that a woman who wanted to commit adultery could not be a wife of a prophet. Is it true?
Dear Brother / Sister,
According to some narrations, after Zulaykha’s husband died, she became beautiful again with the will of Allah and married Hz. Yusuf. When she married Hz. Yusuf, she turned out to be virgin. (Elmalılı Hamdi Yazır, Hak Dini Kur'ân Dili, İstanbul 1971, IV/2879)
There is no information about Zulaykha in the hadiths of Hz. Muhammad (pbuh). However, once, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) mentioned her as "Yusuf's friend". (az-Zabidi, Sahihi Buhârî Muhtasarı Tecridi Sarih Tercemesi, translated by Ahmed Naim, İstanbul 1972, II/663)
