The ruling on answering a man’s desire for offspring in Paradise

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes, Salim. If a person is among the people of Paradise and he desires a child?

The Shaykh : May Allah make us among them, may Allah make us among them, yes.

The questioner : I tell him: What are these children? It is not impossible for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) to create a child for him without anything, without the woman giving birth.

The Shaykh : No, rather, Allah is Able to do all things. This is another aspect: Jibril, peace be upon him, when the child was desired, Allah created a child with the word "Be,"
His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is.إِنَّمَا أَمْرُهُ إِذَا أَرَادَ شَيْئًا أَن يَقُولَ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ
[Ya-Sin 36:82]
We ask Allah to make us and to be dwellers [in Paradise].
