Will the hoors in Jannah be mindless robots made only for one thing (sex) or will they be like women of the earth with feelings , thoughts and moodswings?
Answer
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'Jannah is an exposition of Allah's mercy.' (Mishkaat)
The purpose of Jannat is to reward sincere servants of Allah. Among the rewards of Allah in Jannah, one will be the Hoors. They will be a means of comfort and peace to the dwellers of Jannah. For that, they will have to be intelligent as well as considerate. Comfort and peace cannot be attained through a woman who is 'a mindless robbot'. Imagine being with a beautiful woman but insane. No person in a sound state of mind will even approach her. How can that be expected of the Hoors of Jannah, being the queens created by Allah to grant comfort to His sincere servants.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
