Q576: Intercourse in Jannah

Share This Post

Q1. I have heard that men in Jannah will engage in intercourse. Will they do this only with Hoors or will their wife of this world also be with them?

A1. Yes. A person will go in Jannah with his wife or wives.

Allah says in the Quran that those people who had intelligence ie. wisdom of deeni affairs and held on to life of piety will get:

أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ – جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ يَدْخُلُونَهَا وَمَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ آبَائِهِمْ وَأَزْوَاجِهِمْ وَذُرِّيَّاتِهِمْ

“For them there is the final attainment of the (eternal) home; Gardens of perpetual bliss: they shall enter them, and so will their fathers, their spouses, and their offspring who have done good. (13:22-23)

Again, Allah says in surah zukhruf (43:70-71), that the believers will be told:

ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ أَنْتُمْ وَأَزْوَاجُكُمْ تُحْبَرُونَ
يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِصِحَافٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَأَكْوَابٍ وَفِيهَا مَا تَشْتَهِيهِ الْأَنْفُسُ وَتَلَذُّ الْأَعْيُنُ وَأَنْتُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ
““Enter happily into Paradise, both you and your wives.” They will be served (food and drink) from gold trays and gold cups. Inside will be everything that the person desires and the eyes find sweet. “You will stay there forever.”

These verses show that a Muslim will enter into paradise along with his wife or wives. The man and his wife will live as king and queen, reclining on couches and being served food and drink from gold cups and trays, filled with the most delicious fruits. They will have servants running around doing all the work for them, while they need not do anything – they only enjoy themselves.

Obviously, wife or wives from this world will be made superior to the Hoors.

For example, the Prophet (saw) called his daughter Fatimah “sayyidatu nisaa ahlil jannah” – the queen of the women of Paradise – and since Paradise will have hoors and human women, it shows that the human women will be superior.

When the beauty of the hoor is what we read in Quran and Hadith, and the human women of Jannah will be superior to them, one can only imagine how beautiful Allah will make the human women of Jannah.

Bazzaar narrates in his Musnad from Abu Hurayrah rad. “Someone asked “Ya Rasulallah! Will we have intercourse with our wives in Jannah? He replied: “Yes …………..Al-Hadith ” (Saheeh)

Al Makhrami narrates from Ibn Abbas: We asked “Ya Rasulallah! Will we have intercourse with our wives in Jannah just as we do in dunya? And he replied with a similar answer.

Bazzaar narrates from Abu Saeed Khudri rad. That rasulullallh sallallahu alayhi wasallam said “When the people of Jannah will have intercourse with their wives, they will return to their virginity” (All 3 Hadith are narrated by imam qurtibi in attazkirah p156 vol2).

There will be no reproduction in Jannah as children are needed where a person fears who will inherit him after his death? so he wants children, also one thinks about old age, who will help me when I get old? There is no death nor old age in Jannah, so there won’t be any need for children.

May Allah grant us jannatul firdaws and bless us with all the ni’mats of Jannah. Ameen. (a.hafiz 1/12)
