The ruling on a righteous woman entering Paradise as a young woman

The questioner:
The questioner says: If a righteous woman and a righteous husband are admitted to Paradise, is she considered his wife? And do the things like defecation, urination, and menstruation return to her, and so on?

The Shaykh:
And what is it?

The questioner:
He said: If a righteous woman and a righteous husband are admitted to Paradise, is she considered his wife? And do the things like defecation, urination, and menstruation return to her, and so on?

The Shaykh:
Yes, the righteous woman. She returns in Paradise as a virgin, young, as Allah the Exalted said: These are the believing women of the world in Paradise; they enter it as young, beautiful women, and all that was in the world of harm, filth, menstruation, and post-natal bleeding is removed from them. When this is removed, they become purified in Paradise. An old woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "Ask Allah to admit me to Paradise." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "No old woman enters Paradise." The woman became distressed and sad. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) saw what was affecting her, he said, "The believing woman on the Day of Resurrection is made young and enters Paradise. The old woman on the Day of Resurrection is made young and enters Paradise as a young woman." He (peace and blessings be upon him) explained this to her. They said, "This is permissible joking; permissible joking and permissible hinting. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) joked with her when he saw her distress. He (peace and blessings be upon him) explained to her the meaning of 'no old woman enters Paradise,' and that the old woman is made young when entering Paradise."
