What will be the state of spouses in Paradise?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
As for the man, he will have two wives from the Houris of Paradise... And as for, for example, if the wife’s husband is not righteous...?
Answer:
Their wives in Paradise—Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) knows best—will contain what souls desire and what eyes delight in. Their wives will differ; some will have hundreds of wives, some thousands, and some fewer than that. But no one will be deprived of their two wives from the Houris of Paradise, aside from the additional increase they are given.
Q: Do the people of the lower rank see the higher rank?
The Shaykh: Allah knows best. One is given the like of a king of this world and five times that, and in the other wording: and ten times that. And he will have what his soul desires and what his eye delights in.
Q: If a wife in this world is righteous and her husband is righteous, will they be reunited in Paradise?
The Shaykh: That is to be hoped for. In some hadiths, it is mentioned that she will be given the choice; if she has multiple husbands, she will choose the one with the best character. However, there is some consideration regarding the hadiths on this matter, and Allah knows best about it . The most likely, and Allah knows best, is that she will be with her husband if he was her only husband and she died while satisfied with him and he was satisfied with her. The most likely, and Allah knows best, is that she will be his, just as the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Paradise are his wives in the Hereafter, aside from the increase that Allah grants. As for if she has multiple husbands, Allah knows best. It is mentioned in some narrations that she will be given the choice to select the one with the best character; if that is authentic, it is clear, but there is some discussion regarding its chain of narration.
