The questioner : Is it permissible for us to say, "O Allah, replace her with a better husband than her husband," knowing that the deceased was not married?
The Shaykh : Not married.
The questioner : Not married.

So if he says, "replace her with a better husband than her husband," he means by that the houris. And on this basis, there is no blame.
