The answer

A Muslim should direct their efforts towards the fundamentals of faith, the deeds of the heart, and acts of worship, and avoid delving into strange matters that do not yield significant practical results, especially for beginners in seeking knowledge.

The creation of beings after the Resurrection (Ba'th) differs from the first creation. The re-creation after decay is for an enduring, permanent existence that does not perish. The people of Paradise will not excrete waste, nor will they be in the wombs of mothers. Humans will be re-created from dust and brought into another existence. It is not necessary for them to be re-created in the state of their death, or their fatness, or their leanness.

The people of Paradise will enter it in the most perfect form, in the image of Adam, sixty cubits tall. They will not urinate, defecate, or spit. They will enter Paradise in the image of the moon on a full-moon night, or as a more intensely luminous star, and they will be perfect in both character and creation.
