What is the reason for this?\u201d He answered, \u201cBecause they performed Salah, fasted and worshipped.\u00a0 Allah will put light on their faces and silk on their bodies.\u00a0 They will be fair in complexion and will wear green clothing and yellow jewellery.\u00a0 Their incense burners will be made of pearls and their combs will be of gold.\u00a0 They will say, \u2018We are the women who will stay forever and we will never die.\u00a0 We are the women who will always remain in comfort and will never undergo difficulty.\u00a0 We are the women who will stay and never leave.\u00a0 Listen, we are happy women and we will never become sad.\u00a0 Glad tidings to those men whom we are and who are for us\u2019.\u201d\u00a0 (Tabraani)<\/p>\n<p>If a woman had more than one husband, she will choose which one of them to stay with, and she will choose the one with the best character.\u00a0 Some scholars have said she will be with the last husband.\u00a0 As for those women who have never married or have been divorced or their husbands were disbelievers, they will be allowed to marry whichever worldly man they so wish in Paradise.<\/p>\n<p>Only Allah Knows Best<\/p>\n<p>Mohammed Tosir Miah<\/p>\n<p>Darul Ifta Birmingham<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A woman has married a total of 3 men.
