Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Do the descriptions mentioned for the Houris include the women of this world in the Qur'an, O honorable Shaykh?
The Shaykh : What appears to me is that the women of this world will be better than the Houris, even in their apparent attributes, and Allah knows best.
And we say to our brother,The questioner : These are questions that have no basis. If you are among the people of Paradise and you enter Paradise, you will find therein what souls desire and eyes delight in. You will find therein what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and what has not entered the heart of any human being. And such inquiries into matters of the unseen are an excessive strictness in the religion of Allah. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Be patient, O my brother, until you enter Paradise. Once you enter it, you will find what you could not even imagine.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
