Is it permissible for a girl to refuse marriage desiring to be associated with a person from the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Hereafter, and is that possible for her, and is this matter worth sacrificing current marriage opportunities for?

A woman's marriage in Paradise to a man from a different era is among the matters of the unseen about which no text has been revealed. Paradise is a realm of bliss, containing all that the souls desire. A wise person should occupy themselves with what brings them closer to Allah. One must promptly accept a suitor who is religious and of good character, and it is impermissible to delay marriage if doing so exposes one to falling into the forbidden. Al-Bahuti Al-Hanbali mentioned that marriage is obligatory for whoever fears committing zina by not marrying.
