Aisha. In the third section, Aisha's narrations in the Fath al-Qadir commentary are presented, including those related to Islamic jurisprudential matters (fıqh), Islamic transactions (mu'amalat), the wives of the Prophet, Islamic family law (ahwal al-shakhsiyya), and the virtues of the Qur'an (fada'il al-Qur'an).
