The Houris for Women

Question
Are there Houris for women in Paradise?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The Holy Quran has granted righteous men the reward of beautiful maidens in Paradise. Allah, the Exalted, said: {And We will marry them to beautiful maidens} [Al-Dukhan: 54]. Al-Tabari said: "We have married them to maidens." He explained that the maidens are those who captivate the gaze, their shins visible beneath their garments, and the observer sees his reflection in the skin of one of them like a mirror due to the delicacy of the skin and the clarity of the color, according to Al-Tabari's interpretation. We adhere to the texts and do not question what Allah has not clarified for us. Allah is just, and according to the level of piety, He will grant the pious a sufficient and complete reward. Allah, the Exalted, said: {In it is what the souls desire and what delights the eyes, and you will abide therein eternally} (Al-Zukhruf: 71). Muhammad Al-Shaarawi said that it is in men's nature to love plurality, so their reward is what suits this nature, unlike women. And Allah knows best.
