It is narrated from Muhammad bin Umar al-Waqidi that Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), passed away on the 3rd of Ramadan, when she was 29 years old or thereabouts. There is disagreement about the time of her death: it is reported from Abu Ja'far Muhammad bin Ali that Fatimah passed away three months after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); whereas it is reported from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she passed away six months after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); and it is reported from Abdullah bin al-Harith that she passed away eight months after the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
