Facey and Taylor's scholarly introduction judges that she 'would certainly have claimed to be Sunni' yet that 'it would be difficult to pin her down more precisely' — an inference by one scholarly source, not her own attestation, and the second independent attestation the lane requires is absent. Her Hajj of 1933, her permission from King Abd al-Aziz, and her Muslim burial at Woking's arrangement are practice and circumstance, which never count. Wikidata's religion value is Islam in general. The Sunni reading is preserved here unclassified.",
