Is it permissible for a widow or a divorced woman to supplicate to Allah that her husband in Paradise be another specific man, other than the husband who died or divorced her, knowing that this other man has already died?

A Muslim woman will be in Paradise with her Muslim husband, provided she was still married to him when he died and did not remarry afterward. If she remarried, she will be with her last husband. supplicating to be with someone other than the husband she was married to at the time of his death is considered an transgression in supplication because it goes against what Allah has decreed, unless she was divorced or never married. In such cases, there is no harm in her supplicating to be with whomever she loves in Paradise, for there are no bachelors or spinsters in Paradise.
