Women always pose many questions about their status and conditions in Paradise and about what is waiting for them there. So, I thought it would be useful if I compile all the relevant issues concerning this subject along with their authentic proofs from the Quran and Sunnah in addition to the opinions of reliable scholars to clarify the subject.

Allah The Almighty {Is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.}[Quran 21:23]. Nonetheless, there is no harm if we attempt to find out the rationale based on the texts of Sharee‘ah and the principles of Islam. It is known that women are shy by nature, thus, Allah The Almighty did not motivate them with something that would embarrass them.  Women’s longing for men is not as strong as men’s longing for women. That is why Allah The Almighty motivates men by referring to the women of Paradise, as the Prophet, , said: “I never left behind a temptation more harmful to men than women."[Al-Bukhari]  With regard to women, they long for adornment and jewels more than men, because they are naturally disposed for this, as Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {So is one brought up in ornaments…}[Quran 43:18]                                                           Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said, “Allah The Almighty mentioned the wives of Paradise because men naturally seek them, which is not the case with women. Therefore, Allah did not refer to the husbands of women in Paradise, but this does not mean that they will have no husbands there; rather, they will have human husbands.” A woman who died before marriage A woman who died after divorce and before a second remarriage A married woman whose husband will not enter Paradise with her (may Allah protect us) A woman who died after marriage A woman whose husband died and she remained unmarried until her death A woman whose husband died and she married another one A ‎woman who died before marriage: This woman will marry a man (male human) in Paradise, as the Prophet, , said, “There will be no unmarried person in Paradise.”[Muslim] Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said, “If a woman died before marrying in this world, Allah The Almighty will provide her with a husband who will delight her heart. Bliss in Paradise is equally for men and women, and it certainly includes marriage.” The former condition also applies to the woman who died after divorce. This also applies to the woman whose husband will not enter Paradise. Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaymeen said, “If a woman entered Paradise without being married in this world, or married but her husband did not enter Paradise, Allah The Almighty will provide her with a husband from among the unmarried men in Paradise.” A woman who died after marriage ‎will be with her husband in ‎Paradise. A woman whose husband died and she remained unmarried until her death, will also be with her husband in Paradise. A woman whose husband died and she married another one, will be for the last husband regardless of their number, as the Prophet, said: “The woman will be for her last husband in Paradise.”[Al-Albaani] Women will form the majority of the dwellers of Paradise and Hell, because they outnumber men (Al-Qaadhi ‘Iyaadh). Women will form the majority of the dwellers of Hell as proved by abovementioned Hadeeths, and they will also form the majority of the inhabitants of Paradise and outnumber men when they are added to the Hoor (ladies of Paradise). Women will be the majority in Hell at the beginning, and then will form the majority in Paradise when the Muslim women leave Hell (after receiving the due punishment for their sins). Al-Qurtubi commented on the Hadeeth in which the Prophet, said: “I have seen you constituting the majority of the dwellers of Hell”saying, “This may apply to the time before intercession and mercy of Allah The Almighty who will not leave anyone from those who had said, ‘There is none worthy of worship but Allah’ in Hell.”
