Asslamo Allaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

What happens if a Muslim wife serves her husband and pleases him but doesn't want to be with him in Jannah, is she given a choice?

walaikumsalam.w.w.
There is no choice, she will have the same husband, but he and she will be both spiritually cleansed of all such feelings and diseases of the heart in Jannah, they will both be of very high status. hence, thoughts of liking or not liking will not enter any ones minds about any such issue, there will be no place for such emotions, all hearts will be content.

Aapa,

I am not sure about it as I havn't looked into the issue at all.  I know that if a woman has multiple husbands then Ulamah differ on the matter as to whom she will be with and some Ulamah do say that she will have a choice.

Similarly if she never marries she also may have some choice (not sure).

I am unsure when she has had only one husband and he was mean and abusive towards her. Point is fully taken that he will change but if she fulfills her Deen but doesn't dsire to be with him in Jannah? She realises that he will change but still doesn't want him?

Strangely the same question was asked hence my answer, and was having same discussion with a learnered person just two days ago, about a women with multiple husbands, I.e. widowed and then re-married.

Insha.Allah will post here when I've found required info and time permits. If you find any relevant information please feel free to post in the meantime, jazakAllah.

Scholars have 3 opinions about women with more then one husband:

  1. She will be with the last husband
  2. She will be with the one with the best character and one who treated her best
  3. She will choose between them

Woman who never married would also have a husband

If she still doesn't want him:

These thoughts will not enter her mind in the hereafter, as she will be in state of purity. These thoughts are worldly thoughts that only affect us in this life not in the hereafter. The way we are now will be very different to how we will be in the hereafter.

If he's been abusive:

He will have already been purified through either punishment/repentance etc, Allah knows best. But it will not be like the same person. Diseases of the heart will not exist.

Will still look for info and post insha.Allah.

Lol, someone just said doubt he's going to be in jannah if he's been abusive!

Thought I'd just share, this is not the answer by the way. Allah knows best.

Asslamo Allaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

My brain tells me that Islam is a religion of Modesty and Haya and if both men and women were simply left to their own devices then pious women will desire to be with Sahaba and pious men will desire to be with Sahabiyyat, and even a noble intention like so is degrading and full of blame. Those who are lax in their Deen will desire to be with someone "famous".  Shariah has stopped this so both men and women will only have companions whom they had a relationship with in this world and where they had more than one husband then only choice is given in other words she won’t have a husband out of the “pool” and he won’t have a wife out of the “allocated pool” unless special circumstances are made.

My brain also tells me that since the wife will be a billion gazillion times more beautiful and attractive then the most prettiest Hoor and the Hoor is a “TOY” who hasn’t earned anything but a Muslimah has earned Allah (SWT)’s pleasure her superiority over a  “TOY” is well established. So knowing the nature of a man he would be naturally inclined towards his own wife (in paradise) since she is superior to Hoor.

All in all, my brain can’t fathom either a man or a woman to simply “desire” someone of this world to be with because it is against Haya.

But this is just my thinking and not knowledge.as I don't know.  The topic came in my head because I knew this Muslim woman and she was very pretty so obviously when I was younger I was infatuated with her I used to make all kinds of duas. She was one of the most beautiful women I have ever known and she was practising but she was an absolute COW when it came to attitude; so even if somehow given the choice I don’t want the COW in my life in paradise! Then I thought there must be women who think the same way.

I would presume its human nature to want something in this world that a person would also want to retain in the hereafter.

Not sure if after being married with someone for either 5yrs, 15yrs or 30yrs, when both have evolved through different stages in life and are no longer the same as when they married, whether anyone would still want to be together in the hereafter?

BRAIN PICKING DAY! (Although the Shariah requires Eviddence, so I wont go there)

I've heard all of the above before too.

Here's one to pick on!

4 men married 4 different women all equally pious and what not. They all get divorced and then marry one of the other 4, once again all happily married and all pious etc then one day get divorced again. Then again, all 4 of them marry the other 4 and live happily until all 4 of them get divorced again and marry the other 4 and I could go on and on. So who would get who?

Don't worry I don't need the answer.

The beauty of it is that Allah will place us with those who are right for us. Our attitudes, personality, cowness, will all be gone and will be "Paradise Material". The main thing is to get there first.

Cow??

Think calling a woman such a name is a bit harsh no matter what she may be like.

We were always taught to:
Dislike the sickness but not the sick.

Plenty of these queries on islamqa, here's one of them:

Question:

If a woman dies, and she had more than one husband in her lifetime, who will she be with in Paradise?

Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

There are three scholarly opinions on this matter:

1.That she will be with the one who was best in character and conduct with her in this world;
2.That she will choose between them;
3.That she will be with the last of her husbands.

The best and most correct of these views is the third one, concerning which there is a hadeeth attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) (marfoo'): "Any woman whose husband dies and she marries someone else after him, she will be with the last of her husbands." This was classed as saheeh by Al-Albaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) in Saheeh Al-Jaami', 2704, and in Al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 1281.

This is by way of general response to the question. A detailed discussion of the evidence for the three points of view follows:

The evidence for the first view:

Al-Qurtubi said:

Abu Bakr ibn al-Najjaad said: Ja'far ibn Muhammad ibn Shaakir told us, 'Ubayd ibn Ishaaq al-'Attaar told us, Sinaan ibn Haaroon told us, from Humayd from Anas: that Umm Habeebah the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "O Messenger of Allaah, if a woman had two husbands in this life, then they all died and came together in Paradise, with which of them would she be - the first or the last?" He said: "With the one whose attitude and conduct with her was best, O Umm Habeebah; a good attitude brings one the best of this world and the Hereafter."

(Al-Tadhkirah fi Ahwaal al-Mawtaa wa'l-Aakhirah, 2/278).

I say: this hadeeth is da'eef jiddan (very weak), and has two things wrong with its isnaad: 'Ubayd ibn Ishaaq al-'Attaar and Sinaan ibn Haaroon. The former is da'eef jiddan, and the latter is da'eef.

The views of the 'ulamaa':

It was reported that Yahyaa ibn Ma'een said: 'Ubayd ibn Ishaaq al-'Attaar is nothing (i.e., what he says is not to be taken into account).

Abu Haatim al-Raazi said: we think that he is a good person, but he is not very reliable and there are some odd things in his ahaadeeth.

In al-Du'afaa' wa'l-Matrookeen by al-Nasaa'i (p.72), it says: his hadeeth is matrook (to be ignored, not accepted).

Al-Dhahabi said: he was classed as da'eef (weak) by Yahyaa. Al-Bukhaari said: he has some some munkar ahaadeeth. Al-Azdi said: his hadeeth is matrook. Al-Daaraqutni said: (he is) da'eef. Abu Haatim, on the other hand, accepted him! Ibn 'Udayy said: in general his ahadeeth are munkar.

(Meezaan al-I'tidaal, 5/24)

Ibn 'Udayy said in al-Kaamil (5/347): this hadeeth is one of his munkar reports. And he said: most of what he reported is either munkar with regard to the isnaad (chain of narrators) or munkar with regard to the matn (text of the hadeeth).

With regard to Sinaan ibn Haaroon:

Ibn Hibbaan said:

His ahaadeeth are very munkar, he narrated munkar reports from al-mashaaheer.

Yahyaa ibn Ma'een said: the hadeeth of Sinaan ibn Haaroon al-Burjami are nothing (are not to be accepted).

(Al-Majrooheen, 1/354)

al-'Aqeeli mentioned him in al-Du'afaa' (2/171) and mentioned this hadeeth narrated by him.

= Therefore, this hadeeth is not valid to be used as evidence. It is da'eef jiddan (very weak), so this opinion does not count.

The second view

1. which is that a woman will choose between her husbands.

I could not find any evidence for those who state this.

In al-Tadhkirah fi Ahwaal al-Mawtaa wa'l-Aakhirah (2/278), this matter is mentioned, then the author says: and it is said that she will have the choice, if she had a husband."

Al-'Ajlooni said: ... and it was said that she will be with the best of them in character and conduct, and it was said that she will have the choice. (Kashf al-Khafaa', 2/392).

This is the view regarded as most correct by Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah preserve him), as stated in his Fataawaa, 2/53)

The third view

This view is supported by plenty of evidence:

1.Imaam al-Tabaraani said:

3130 Bakr told us, he said, Muhammad ibn Abi'l-Sirri al-'Asqallaani told us, he said, al-Waleed ibn Muslim told us, he said, Abu Bakr ibn 'Abd-Allaah ibn Abi Maryam told us, from 'Atiyah ibn Qays al-Kilaa'i who said: Mu'aawiyah ibn Abi Sufyaan proposed marriage to Umm al-Darda' after Abu'l-Darda' had passed away. Umm al-Darda' said: I heard Abu'l-Darda' say: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: any woman whose husband dies and she marries someone else after him, she will be with the last of her husbands, and I would not choose you over Abu'l-Darda'. So Mu'aawiyah wrote to her (saying), you have to fast, for it is a protection.

(al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, 3/275)

I say: there are two problems with this hadeeth: the fact that Abu Bakr ibn Abi Maryam is da'eef, and the fact that al-Waleed ibn Muslim did not clearly state haddathanaa ([So and so] told us) in the rest of the isnaad.

The views of the 'ulamaa':

Ibn Hibbaan said:

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Maryam was one of the best of the people of al-Shaam, but he had a bad memory and would narrate things about which he was obviously confused. The problem is not so bad that everything he narrated deserves to be rejected (matrook), but neither is he so trustworthy that what he says can be taken as evidence. In my view his reports should not be used as evidence if the isnaad is only through him. (al-Majrooheen, 3/146)

The tadlees (deception) of al-Waleed ibn Muslim is well known. His tadlees gives the impression that all the narrators are equal, by inserting the name of a da'eef narrator between the names of two thiqah (trustworthy) narrators. Hence the scholars stipulated that the reports of narrators of this type can only be accepted if they clearly state "haddathanaa" ([So and so] told us) in every stage of the isnaad after their name is mentioned.

(See: al-Tabyeen li Asmaa' al-Mudalliseen, by Sabt Ibn al-'Ajami, p. 235; and Tabaqaat al-Mudalliseen, by al-Haafiz ibn Hajar, p. 51)

2.Imaam Abu'l-Shaykh al-Asbahaani said:

Ahmad ibn Ishaaq al-Jawhari told us, he said, Ismaa'eel ibn Zaraarah told us, he said, Abu'l-Maleeh al-Raqqi told us from Maymoon ibn Mahraan from Umm al-Darda' from Abu'l-Darda' that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said that a woman will be with the last of her husbands.

(Tabaqaat al-Muhaaditheen bi Asbahaan, 4/36)

I say, the men of the hadeeth (isnaad) are thiqaat mashhooroon (trustworthy and well known), apart from Ahmad ibn Ishaaq al-Jawhari, for whom I cannot find any biographical details apart from the fact that Abu'l-Shaykh himself stated that this was one of his hasan ahaadeeth.

If this is indeed the case, then this is the best isnaad concerning this matter. And Allaah knows best.

3.Al-Khateeb al-Baghdaadi said:

4803 Samurah ibn Hajar Abu Hajar al-Khurasaani went and settled in Al-Anbaar, where he narrated from Hamzah ibn Abi Hamzah al-Nusaibi and 'Ammaar ibn 'Ata' al-Khurasaani and al-Rabee' ibn Badr; Ishaaq ibn Bahlool al-Tanookhi narrated from him, he informed us, 'Ali ibn Abi 'Ali told us, Abu Ghaanim Muhammad ibn Yoosuf al-Azraq told us, my father told us, he said, my grandfather told us, Samurah ibn Hajar Abu Hajar al-Khurasaani told us from Hamzah al-Nusaibi from ibn Abi Maleekah from 'Aa'ishah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

"A woman will be with the last of her husbands."

(Taareekh Baghdaad, 9/228)

I said, this hadeeth is da'eef jiddan (very weak); it includes Hamzah al-Nusaibi, who is da'eef jiddan.

The views of the 'ulamaa':

Imaam al-Nasaa'i said:

The hadeeth (of Hamzah ibn al-Nusaibi) is to be rejected (matrook).

(al-Du'afaa' wa'l-Matrookeen, p. 39)

Ibn al-Jawzi said:

Ahmad said: the hadeeth (of Hamzah ibn al-Nusaibi) is to be rejected (matrooh). Yahyaa said: he is nothing, he is not even worth a penny. Al-Bukhaari and al-Raazi said: his hadeeth is munkar. Al-Nasaa'i and al-Daaraqutni said: the hadeeth (of Hamzah ibn al-Nusaibi) is to be rejected (matrook). Ibn 'Udayy said: he fabricates ahaadeeth. Ibn Hibbaan said: he is the only thiqah (trustworthy) narrator who transmitted fabricated ahaadeeth and it looks as if he is deliberately narrating them; it is not permissible to report from him.

(al-Du'afaa' wa'l-Matrookeen by Ibn al-Jawzi, 1/237)

4.Al-Bayhaqi said:

Muhammad ibn 'Abd-Allaah al-Haafiz informed us, Abu'l-'Abbaas Muhammad ibn Ya'qoob told us, Yahyaa ibn Abi Taalib told us, Ishaaq ibn Abi Taalib told us, Ishaaq ibn Mansoor told us, 'Eesaa ibn 'Abd al-Rahmaan al-Sulami told us, from Abu Ishaaq from Silah from Hudhayfah (may Allaah be pleased with him), that he said to his wife, "If you want to be my wife in Paradise, do not marry anyone after I die, for in Paradise a woman will be with the last of her husbands in this world. This is why Allaah forbade the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to marry anyone after he died, because they will be his wives in Paradise." (al-Sunan, 7/69)

I say: the isnaad includes Abu Ishaaq al-Subay'i, who is mudallis and may mix things up, so the report is da'eef.

The views of the 'ulamaa':

See: Man rumiya bi'l-Ikhtilaat by al-Taraabulsi (p. 64) and Tabaqaat al-Mudalliseen by Ibn Hajar (p. 42).

It was classed as da'eef by al-'Allaamah al-Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah (1281).

5.A report narrated by Ibn 'Asaakir (19/193/1) from 'Ikrimah:

Asmaa' bint Abi Bakr was married to al-Zubayr ibn al-'Awwaam, who was strict with her. She came to her father and complained to him about that, and he said: O my daughter, have patience, for if a woman has a righteous husband, then he dies, and she does not marry anyone after him, they will be joined together in Paradise.

Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

The men of this report are thiqaat (trustworthy), but there is Irsaal ( a break in the chain), because 'Ikrimah never met Abu Bakr, but he may have heard this report from Asmaa' bint Abi Bakr. And Allaah knows best. Al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 3/276.

Conclusion

The view that a woman will be with the husband who was best in character and conduct with her in this world has no saheeh evidence to support it.

The view that a woman will have the choice of whichever husband she wishes to be with has no evidence to support it at all.

The view that she will be with the last of her husbands is the view that is most likely to be correct, because the hadeeth of Umm al-Dardaa' is likely to be hasan and marfoo' (attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)). It is supported by the reports of Hudhayfah and Asmaa' which are mawqoof (their isnaads stop at the Sahaabi and are not directly attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)). They are fit to be taken as a corroboration of the marfoo' report and as proof that there is a reasonable basis for this view.

The hadeeth was classed as saheeh by al-'Allaamah Shaykh al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah (1281).

In any case, we prefer it to mere opinion.

And Allaah knows best.

O Allaah, bestow Your blessings and peace upon Muhammad and his family and companions.
