How is the ḥadīth: "The martyr will be married to 72 of the ḥūr al-ʿīn" applied to a woman martyred in the way of Allah?
Sheikh Abdullah bin Jibreen said: This number (i.e., of Houris) is specific to men, and a woman in Paradise will have only one husband, which will suffice her, and she will enjoy him and will not need more.
The Muslim woman does not object to the rulings of Allah, and her sound nature informs her that she cannot cohabit with more than one man at the same time. If she enters Paradise, she will attain everything she desires, and she is included in the generality of Allah's saying: "Circulated among them will be plates of gold and cups, and therein is whatever the souls desire and [what] delights the eyes, and you will abide therein eternally."
