Is it permissible for a woman to pray to see the face of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and will women enjoy seeing him in Paradise, or is this pleasure restricted to men?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Seeing the Prophet (peace be upon him) in a dream is a good omen, and whoever sees him in a dream will see him on the Day of Judgment, because Satan cannot impersonate him. There is no harm in asking Allah to see him in a dream. Seeing him in Paradise is not exclusive to men over women; rather, it includes everyone who obeys Allah and His Messenger. They will be with those upon whom Allah has bestowed favor from among the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous. It is narrated regarding the reason for the revelation of the verse: (And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger...) that a man feared he would not see the Prophet in Paradise, so the verse was revealed. It is established in the hadith that a person is with those whom he loves, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) supplicated for Umm Ammarah and her son to be among his companions in Paradise.
