Issue
By her first marriage, Fatma had a daughter:
- Rukiye Hanimsultan (1696 - 1720), who married Sirke Osman Pasha, who after her death married her cousin Emetullah Sultan on August 1720.
By her second marriage, Fatma had a second daughter:
- Safiye Hanimsultan (1697/1700 - 1711).According to Necdet Sakaoğlu, also Safiye was daughter of her first marriage. If this were true, and it true also that Fatma had died in childbirth, it would mean that Fatma had an unknown third child with her second husband, stillborn or stillborn shortly after birth.
Death
Fatma Sultan died on December 13, 1700, from plague, tuberculosis, or according to other sources, postpartum complications. During the funeral, she was accompanied by a procession of statesmen together with her husband. She was buried in the Turhan Sultan Mosque, her paternal grandmother, next to her father.
