Who will the unmarried woman be with in Paradise?

Who will the unmarried woman be with in Paradise?

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: If a woman is one of the people of Paradise and she did not get married in this world, or she got married but her husband does not enter Paradise, who will she be with?
He answered:
“The answer is based on the general meaning of the verses in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Therein you shall have (all) that your inner-selves desire, and therein you shall have (all) for which you ask” [Fussilat 41:31] and “(there will be) therein all that inner-selves could desire, and all that eyes could delight in and you will abide therein forever” [al-Zukhruf 43:71].
So if a woman is one of the people of Paradise and she did not get married, or if her husband is not one of the people of Paradise, when she enters Paradise there will be men who did not get married, and those men will have wives from among the hur al-‘iyn and wives from among the people of this world if they wish. Similarly with regard to the woman who did not have a husband, or who had a husband in this world but he did not enter Paradise with her, if she wants to get married then she will inevitably have what she desires, because of the general meaning of these verses”

From Majmoo’ Fataawa Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 2/52.
