The colour of Eve's skin
Fatwa No: 115613

Question

Assalaamu alaikum, Is it true that Eve (Hawa) was a created a black woman? Jazak Allah khair

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

We are not aware of any evidence about this, and there is no great benefit in investigating this matter. A Muslim should rather be concerned about matters which benefit him in his worldly affairs as well as in his religion.

Allaah Knows best.
