What is the authenticity of the statement mentioned in "Durr al-Mukhtar" that Allah will create in Paradise a group whose upper half resembles males and lower half resembles females?
The notion of sodomy existing in Paradise is without evidence, and is religiously and naturally abhorrent. The Hanafis have weakened this assertion, relying on the fact that Allah has deemed sodomy abhorrent and called it an evil deed, and Paradise is far removed from such things. The prohibition of sodomy is more severe than that of fornication, both rationally, legally, and naturally. The claim of its existence in Paradise might originate from some people of innovation, such as the Mu'tazila, who alleged that its corruption would be removed in Paradise. However, inclination towards males is a defect and an abomination, and Paradise is free from defects. Its inhabitants are purified from bad morals, content with the pleasures Allah has prepared for them. The boys (wildan) in Paradise are solely for service.
