Question

i just wanted to know if it is possible to have only one wife after death despite the fact that you are married to 2 in this life or if you are obliged to still keep both women ...thank you for your healp and inshallah i will get a reply

Answer

In principle, a person will be married to whomsoever he was married to in this world. However, Jannat is a place wherein each and every desire of a person will be fulfilled and the true understanding of what is really going to happen is only known to One Being and that is Allah Ta'ala.

We should therefore concentrate our efforts in this world to earn that Jannat and the favours Allah will grant a person, no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard and no mind has ever thought about it.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
