Does the believer or the martyr have intercourse with his wives from among the wide-eyed houris in the grave?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Preoccupation with unnecessary details about the grave distracts a person from preparing for it. The grave is the first stage of the Hereafter; success in it makes what comes after easier, and failure makes what comes after more difficult. Allah Almighty has mentioned the Houris (maidens of Paradise) in the Holy Quran. Whoever desires them should strive in acts of obedience, especially night prayer ( al-Layl), which the Salaf (pious predecessors) described as the dowry of the Houris.
