Question:

At what age did Faatimah, the daughter of Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, die?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

Faatimah Az-Zahraa'  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  her the daughter of the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) was the best of all women of the world. She passed away in Al-Madeenah, six months after the death of the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ); she was the first member of his family to die after him. She was buried in Al-Baqeeʻ cemetery. Ibn Saʻd  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him wrote, "She died on a Tuesday night, on the 3rd of Ramadan, 11 AH, at the age of twenty-nine or so..." [Tabaqaat Ibn Saʻd]

It was also said that she died at the age of twenty-four or twenty-five.

Allaah knows best.
