A question about the houris.

The questioner : Our Shaykh, someone says, for example, he imagines, he visualizes, for example, he tries to visualize the form of a huri or something like that, and then he gets carried away and says, "Let me show Allah what I would do with them." Is it permissible in the Shari'ah to say such a statement, or to visualize, or try to visualize the form of a huri, or to imagine a woman and say, "Let me show Allah what I would do with them if I married her," and so on?

The Shaykh : What would he do with whom?
The audience: They laugh.

The questioner : With the huri.

The Shaykh : On one hand, you mention a woman from among the humans, and on the other hand, you mention the houris.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Okay, so when he says, "Let me show Allah what I would do with whom?"

The questioner : With the huri, and he tries to visualize her form, and with a woman, and he also tries to visualize her form.

The Shaykh : Okay, leave this one for me, let's hold onto the first one that was connected to this, the one who says, regarding the huri, is he guaranteed, meaning, is he entering Paradise?

The questioner : From his statement, "Our Shaykh, guaranteed," our Shaykh, this is regarding his state, that the man is guaranteed.

The Shaykh : How is he guaranteed?

The questioner : I mean, guaranteed that he will enter Paradise.

The Shaykh : And someone is guaranteed to enter Paradise? May Allah guide you.

The questioner : I, our Shaykh, I am not guaranteed.

The Shaykh : So who is the one who guarantees that an animal... who guarantees this? This is a question that is not permissible to inquire into, yes.
