(salam) With the night of the death of Sayyeda fatema (as) approaching, we ask this question: Who was the Imam of the Leader of the Women of Paradise?
There is an Authentic Narration that all Muslims agree which says: "Whosoever dies without paying the oath of allegiance to the Imam of the time, has died the death of a pagann [Jahiliyya]". The Lady of Light, Mistress of the women of Paradise, daughter of the Beloved Prophet (saw) never ever paid the oath of allegiance to AbuBakr. In fact, she refused AbuBakr and Umar from attending her funeral and she passed away whilst she was angry with them according to Saheeh Bukhari and many other sources. Therefore according to the Narration of the Prophet (saw), the Leader of the women of Paradise died as a pagan because she refused paying AbuBakr the oath of allegiance. Unless, AbuBakr was not the rightful successor of the Beloved Prophet (saw). You decide! Bibi Fatema (as) died a pagan OR AbuBakr was not the rightful successor of the Prophet (saw). (wasalam)
