She embraced islam when the Prophet ﷺ left Makkah after the death of Abu Talib.
Ruqayqah said,
"The Prophet came seeking aid in Ta'if.
He visited us and i brought him a drink from wheat flour and barley.
He ﷺ said: "O Ruqayqah, don't worship their false gods and do not pray towards them.'
"I said, 'In this case, they will kill me!'
He ﷺ said, 'If they ask you concerning this, then say: "My Lord is the lord of these false gods."
And when you pray, turn your back towards them.'
"And then the Prophet left."
Ruqayqah's daughter said,
"My brothers Sufyan and Wahb informed me that when the tribe of Thaqif embraced Islam, they went to greet the Prophet ﷺ.
He ﷺ said to my brothers, 'What did your mother do?"
They replied, 'She died just as you left her.'
The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Surely, your mother was saved."
