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.
