Among Muslim laypeople, hūr al-'ayn is commonly perceived as very beautiful and youthful wives in Paradise, regarded as one of the blessings bestowed upon the righteous. Some interpret hūr al-'ayn as exclusively female beings meant for the men of Paradise, while others believe they exist in both female and male forms, enjoyed by both believing men and women. The notion that hūr al-'ayn should be restricted to one group of the blessed and denied to another is considered unlikely. This study employs a descriptive-analytical method to investigate the gender of hūr al-'ayn through the lens of relevant Quranic verses and narrations. By critically examining four prevailing views regarding their gender, it concludes that, given the lexical analysis, Quranic and hadith usage, context, and supporting evidence, the concept of gender does not apply to hūr al-'ayn. The term tazwīj (often translated as ‘marriage’ or ‘spousal relationship’) with hūr al-'ayn signifies companionship and being conjoined with them. Thus, hūr al-'ayn constitute a reward for all believers, both female and male alike. Additionally, the Quran distinguishes hūr al-'ayn from other women of Paradise who have their own unique features. A major observation highlighted is the lack of precision among commentators and translators who often conflate hūr al-'ayn with the women of Paradise by attributing descriptions meant for the latter to the former.
