Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Are the Houris the believing, righteous women of this world, or are they a new creation?
Answer:
The women of Paradise are of two types. The first type is the Houris whom Allah created for Paradise. The second type is the believing women from among the descendants of Adam. Allah will resurrect the believing women from the descendants of Adam on the Day of Resurrection as virgins, and they will be among the wives of the people of Paradise. Yes. Peace be upon you. It is reported that an old woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him to supplicate to Allah to admit her into Paradise. He said (peace and blessings be upon him): An old woman does not enter Paradise. He was joking with her; he was joking with her. So the woman was upset, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited for her this verse:[Al-Waqi'ah 56:35-37] They enter Paradise in this state, and old women do not enter in their current form.

(35) Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation (36) And made them virgins, (37) Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age,
إِنَّا أَنشَأْنَاهُنَّ إِنشَاءً فَجَعَلْنَاهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًا
