Who is the husband of Mary, peace be upon her, in Paradise, what are her highest degrees, what is said about her title, and did she beat the drum?
It is permissible to refer to Mary, daughter of 'Imran, as 'Sayyidah' (Mistress/Lady) or 'Alayha al-Salam' (Peace be upon her). She is a 'Siddiqah' (truthful one), as stated in the Quran, but not a prophetess. Mary will be among the 'Siddiqeen' (truthful ones) in Paradise, which is the second rank after the prophets. Mary did not marry in this world, but she will have a husband in Paradise because there is no celibacy in Paradise. However, there is no authentic text specifying who her husband will be in Paradise, and the narrations that mention her being the wife of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, are weak. As for her playing the daff (tambourine), it is unlikely and there is no text to support it.
