The colour of Eve's skin

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  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) 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.
