QUESTION:
As Salaamu Alaikum,
I was just wondering if you could help me out with this hope all is well with you. some people say in jannah women stay indoors and only men go out like they use this hadith
Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, there is a market in Paradise to which the people will come every Friday. The wind will scatter fragrance on their faces and clothes and will increase their excellence and beauty. They will return to their families after having been increased in excellence and beauty and they will say: By Allah, we have seen you increased in excellence and beauty! They will say them: By Allah, you we have seen you increased in excellence and beauty! Source: SÌ£ahÌ£iÌ„hÌ£ Muslim 2833. So the hadith makes it sound like women can’t meet there daughters.
So my question is does this mean that the women of jannah can’t see and meet her family like who adult children and her mum and dad and her female friends because the hadith makes it sound like she will only see her husband.
ANSWER:
Wa Alaikum As Salaam,
In Jannah, women will meet their family members, parents, children and friends. They will meet each other and greet one another, and will converse about their times in the worldly life. The Hadith which you have mentioned does not indicate to any prohibition of the above.
Family members who will attain Jannah will be able to meet in Paradise, just as they use to meet and be together in the worldly life. They would not be isolated and disconnected from each other in Paradise, neither will they be prevented from meeting each other.
And Allah Knows best
