The answer

Adultery is one of the grave sins that Allah and His Messenger have warned against. Nevertheless, Allah has opened the door of repentance for His servants, saying: (Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by committing sins], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."), and He said, describing the servants of the Most Merciful: (And those who do not invoke with Allah another deity or kill the soul which Allah has forbidden [to be killed], except by [legal] right, and do not commit unlawful sexual intercourse. And whoever does that will meet a penalty. The punishment will be doubled for him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein in humiliation. Except for those who repent, believe, and do righteous deeds; for those, Allah will change their evil deeds into good ones. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.). So, whoever repents from adultery with sincere repentance, Allah accepts his repentance and admits him to His Paradise, wherein there is what souls desire and eyes delight in, and this includes the wide-eyed houris. There is no known that prevents the repentant adulterer from having the wide-eyed houris. Rather, something similar has been narrated concerning intoxicants, that whoever drinks them in this world will not drink them in the Hereafter unless he repents.
