Who will a woman be with in the Hereafter if she married multiple men?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A message was received for the program from Riyadh, sent by our brother Ali Muhammad Haydar. Our brother’s message is lengthy and written in his own style, and its summary is: that he lives with a wife whom he praises highly, but she had previously married a man before him. He hopes to be her husband in the Hereafter, given the good companionship he has experienced from her. He asks the Shaykh: If a woman marries two men in this world, with whom will she be in the Hereafter?
Answer: There is no text indicating that she will belong to such-and-such or such-and-such. However, it is narrated in some hadiths, which contain some weakness, that if she married several men, she will be given the choice on the Day of Resurrection, and she will choose the one with the best character. But this hadith is not authentic; it is not relied upon, rather its chain is weak. And knowledge belongs to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) . Whether she will be with the first, the last, or the middle one, Allah knows this best, (Glorified and Exalted is He). As for this hadith, it states that she is given the choice, and she chooses the one with the best character, but this chain is not relied upon, and it is not authentic to be cited. However, the reality is that it is up to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He); He is the One who knows who she will be with. There is no doubt that if she knows that such-and-such was the best in his treatment of her, was the most upright in fulfilling her rights, was the most beneficial to her, and had the best character, then he is the one most likely to be chosen by her and for her in the Hereafter in Paradise. He is likely to be so, and she is likely to be so.
Therefore, every husband should fear Allah regarding his wife, improve his treatment of her, improve his character, and fulfill the rights of his family, so that he does not bear responsibility on the Day of Resurrection, and so that he is free from her claim. And perhaps that is among the reasons for her choosing him on the Day of Resurrection, if she has multiple husbands. And Allah is the One to be sought for help. Yes.
