Clarification of the Statement Regarding the Gender of the Houriyyat
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, he asks and says: The Houriyyat in Paradise, what gender are they?
Answer:
The Houriyyat are women, women whose beauty and loveliness no one knows the extent of except the One who created them. However, they are beautiful, good, and of excellent character and conduct. When the believer sees them, he will know their state after that; when he enters Paradise, he will see them and know them, and know their character and their beauty. But now, they are known through the report of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and what is mentioned about them in the Qur'an, that they are Houriyyat, the white Houriyyah, beautiful and with beautiful eyes; this is part of their beauty. As for the perfection of their beauty, a person will know it when he enters Paradise. May Allah make us and you among the people of Paradise.
The point is that they are women whom Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) created to honor the people of Paradise and to provide the pleasure of the men of Paradise. No one knows the substance from which they were created except the One who created them . This is unlike the women of this world, who are created from base water and are well known. In Paradise, they will be in the utmost beauty. The marriage of women in Paradise is according to what their righteous deeds require. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is the Generous, the Bountiful, and He is the One who marries them in Paradise, whether they are for their husbands from this world or for others who were not their husbands in this world. As for the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), they are for him in the Hereafter, peace and blessings be upon him.
As for the people, Allah knows best. There are reports on this matter that are subject to scrutiny, stating that if a woman has multiple husbands, she chooses, selecting the one with the best character. But no one knows the truth except Allah . She may be for her husband, or she may be for someone other than her husband. Each husband is given from the Houris whatever Allah wills of them, according to his righteous deeds and his mindfulness of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). Every person has two Houris, in addition to what is given to him beyond that. Every person has two Houris; this is a known matter. But the increase is known only by Allah. They differ in this, according to their righteous deeds, in the granting of types of pleasure and palaces, and in what is given to the husbands from the Houris beyond the two, beyond the two. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good. Are these two from the women of this world, O Shaykh, or from the Houriyyat?
The Shaykh : From the Houriyyat, not the women of this world.
The presenter : Not the women of this world.
The Shaykh : And the increase from the Houriyyat is for whom Allah wills among the people of Paradise.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
