Will intercourse in Paradise be like that in this world, or will it be through looking only?
The statement that marriage in Paradise occurs through sight and not through the known cohabitation is incorrect, as the apparent evidence contradicts it. In the exegesis of the noble verse: {Indeed the companions of Paradise, that Day, will be in amusement, enjoying themselves} (Surat Ya-Sin, 36:55), Ibn Abbas and others mentioned that they will be engaged in deflowering virgins. Ibn al-Qayyim, in his book "Hadi al-Arwah," stated that the people of Paradise will engage in sexual intercourse, have intimate relations, and experience complete pleasure from it, and that this will not necessitate ghusl (ritual bath), nor weakness, nor madhiy (pre-ejaculatory fluid), nor maniy (semen). Authentic hadiths have also been reported confirming this, among them the hadith of Abu Hurairah: "Indeed, a man will be able to reach one hundred virgins in a single day." And the hadith of Abu Musa: "That for the believer in Paradise there will be a tent of a single hollow pearl, sixty miles long, in which he will have wives whom he will visit." And the hadith of Anas: "The believer in Paradise will be given the strength of so-and-so many women." It also came in a hadith, which Al-Busiri graded as good, from Abu Hurairah: "He was asked: 'Will the people of Paradise touch their wives?' He said: 'Yes.' He was asked: 'With what?' He said: 'With a penis that does not tire, and a vagina that does not become raw, and a desire that does not cease.'"
