MORE INFORMATION
on the 'legality' of this marriage of 'convenience' [i.e. Mohammed's 'act of kindness', to help the soul of the dead woman, Fatima Bint Asad].
THE PRO
The Arabic scholar Demetrius explains : "The Arabic word used here for "slept" is "Id’tajat," and literally means "lay down" with her. It is often used to mean, "lay down to have sex." Muhammad is understood as saying that because he slept with her she has become like a wife to him so she will be considered like a "mother of the believers." This will supposedly prevent her from being tormented in the grave, since Muslims believed that as people wait for the Judgment Day they will be tormented in the grave. "Reduce the pressure" here means that the torment won’t be as much because she is now a "mother of the believers" after Muhammad slept with her and "consummated" the union."

The False Allegation of Muhammad having sex with a dead body
"Muhammad could NOT possibly have taken Fatima Bint Asad as a wife as Islamic Law dictates consent be given by BOTH parties in a marriage; of course marrying a dead person would not be allowed simply based on this injunction. Father Zakaria knows this but continues with his fanciful claim because it suits his agenda to besmirch the reputation of the Prophet Muhammad"

Duh! Duh! Duh! Of course Mohammed had the consent of Fatima Bint Asad !!Google;
mohammed silence is consent
As is revealed in the Hadith...."Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "A matron should not be given in marriage except after consulting her; and a virgin should not be given in marriage except after her permission." The people asked,
"O Allah's Apostle! How can we know her permission?" He said,
"Her silence (indicates her permission)." "

"Narrated 'Aisha:
I said, "O Allah's Apostle! A virgin feels shy." He said,
"Her consent is (expressed by) her silence." "
hadithsunnah/bukhari/ #007.062.068
This 'narrator', Aisha, was Mohammed's 9 year old child bride.
What we [as non-moslems] must understand, is that within ISLAM, to moslems, nothing else matters except doing what is 'lawful', and what has been 'lawfully' permitted to them.
e.g.
If ISLAM declares that it is 'lawful', permitted, for moslems to kill 'unbelievers' or apostate moslems,
WILL MOSLEMS, DO MOSLEMS KILL THEM ???Duh.

What behaviour is permitted [halal], to moslems?
Any conduct is permitted , if that conduct is lawfully permitted by Sharia.And
clearly,
legalistically, Mohammed did 'obtain' Fatima Bint Asad's lawful consent, for him to 'marry' her.
Legalistically, the silence of Fatima Bint Asad, was her consent to her marriage to Mohammed.
