According to Islam, Mary Magdeline did not exist at the time of Isa (as). Additionally, as Muslims we must strictly adhere to what the Quran and Hadiths has informed us.

Narrated Abū Huraira: The people of the scripture (Jews) used to recite the Torah in Hebrew and they used to explain it in Arabic to the Muslims. On that Allah's apostle said: 'Do not believe the people of the scripture or disbelieve them, but say: "We believe in Allah and what is revealed to us"'.
