Question:
What is the correct view regarding the duration of Maryam’s pregnancy with ‘Isa (Jesus), peace be upon him? And is there any benefit in knowing that?!
Answer:
Allah did not clarify this for us, so we do not delve into it. Allah did not clarify to us how long the duration of Maryam’s pregnancy with ‘Isa was, so we do not investigate this; there is no benefit in it for us.
“So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a far place (i.e. Bethlehem valley about 4-6 miles from Jerusalem).” [Maryam, 19:22]
He did not clarify whether she carried him for nine months, six months, a year, or more. He, the Exalted, did not clarify this.
