What are the conclusive proofs to refute those who claim that musical instruments and sodomy exist in Paradise, by analogy with wine being permitted there?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
The wine of Paradise differs from the wine of this world; it does not impair the intellect nor cause harm. The abomination of sodomy is forbidden, detested, and goes against natural inclination, and the people of Paradise are far removed from it. As for musical instruments, proving their existence in Paradise requires a legal (Shari'ah) proof. However, the people of Paradise will enjoy listening, and this includes the singing of the wide-eyed houris.
