Will an orphan girl meet a righteous man who raised her in Paradise, knowing that he is not her biological father and that she is married? Will women in Paradise see the Prophet (peace be upon him), the Companions, and the Prophets? Is the hadith of the market and the hollow pearl evidence that women will not see men or each other?
We have not found anything to prohibit or prove the mutual seeing of those who love each other for the sake of Allah, whether men or women, in Paradise.
The Hadith of Anas ibn Malik shows that men go to the market of Paradise and return to their wives, which indicates that their wives do not accompany them. This is also indicated by what Shaykh al-Islam mentioned, that women may see Allah in their own dwellings.
There is evidence that the believer in Paradise will have a tent in which there are spouses who do not see each other, either due to its vastness or for a divine wisdom.
We have not found a text indicating that women will have separate palaces from their husbands; rather, the perfection of a woman's pleasure is in her reunion with her husband. The Quranic verses and Prophetic Hadiths emphasize the gathering of believers, their spouses, and their offspring in Paradise, and the raising of the lower in rank to equate the higher in appreciation and grace.
