chosen.content: The allegations of prophet Muhammad being a pedophile are baseless and unsubstantiated. Prophet Muhammad only ever married widows of a reasonable age or much younger women who were still children under the societal standard of the era and could not be marriageable. Muhammad also only ever had sexual relations with the women in his harem after their 'iddah (waiting period following a divorce or death of a spouse). He was strongly against premarital sex and adultery as evidenced in the Sunnah. This is in stark contract to other prophets of Allah who had multiple wives, many of whom were minors at the time of marriage. Thus, the label of prophet Muhammad being a pedophile is malicious and baseless.

rejected.content: False. The Prophet Muhammad was not a pedophile, as pedophilia is defined as an abnormal interest in or attitude toward children, which the Prophet did not have. He engaged in marriage with multiple women after he was an adult, some of which were much younger than him, however, this was not considered pedophilia or an abnormal interest in children as it would be in modern times. In some cultures during Muhammad's time, such marriages were quite common and were seen as acceptable unions, not ones that would be considered pedophilia today.
