He was also asked:
Will “the children of the believers” remain as they were when they died, or will they grow up and marry? Will the girls also marry?
The answer:
Praise be to Allah. When they enter Paradise, they will enter it just as adults do, in the form of their father Adam, sixty cubits tall and seven cubits wide. They will marry just as adults do. Any woman who dies without having married will be married in the Hereafter. Likewise, any man who dies will marry in the Hereafter. And Allah Most High knows best.

" أَطْفَالِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ "
هَلْ يَدُومُونَ عَلَى حَالَتِهِمْ الَّتِي مَاتُوا عَلَيْهَا؟ أَمْ يَكْبَرُونَ وَيَتَزَوَّجُونَ؟ وَكَذَلِكَ الْبَنَاتُ هَلْ يَتَزَوَّجْنَ؟
الْجَوَابُ:
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، إذَا دَخَلُوا الْجَنَّةَ دَخَلُوهَا كَمَا يَدْخُلُهَا الْكِبَارُ عَلَى صُورَةِ أَبِيهِمْ آدَمَ طُولُهُ سِتُّونَ ذِرَاعًا فِي عَرْضِ سَبْعَةِ أَذْرُعٍ وَيَتَزَوَّجُونَ كَمَا يَتَزَوَّجُ الْكِبَارُ. وَمَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ النِّسَاءِ وَلَمْ يَتَزَوَّجْنَ فَإِنَّهَا تُزَوَّجُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ. وَكَذَلِكَ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ الرِّجَالِ فَإِنَّهُ يَتَزَوَّجُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ. وَاَللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ.
