Praise All to Allah. We at Mumbai Multimedia Studio based on the Hadees, quotation from the experts and scholar try our best to answer this question asked by our one of the readers, viewers and audience in regards to child birth or population after dead or we are in Jannah.
We ALL know that there'll be wives of course better than this world in Paradise; will there be any pregnancy and childbirth?
Some of the experts and scholar were in review that if someone wishes to own a baby in Paradise, Allah will fulfill that wish for him. They quoted as evidence for that the report narrated by at-Tirmidhi (2563) in his Sunan from Abu Sa‘eed al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “If the believer wishes for a baby in Paradise, the pregnancy, birth and growth will occur within an hour, as he wishes.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami‘, 6649
What is supposed is that the pregnancy will occur and therefore the child are going to be born and can grow to the age of perfection, which is thirty years, because the person wishes, i.e., the kids are male or female then on, in accordance with the person’s wishes.
This is that the view of the many of the experts.
Some said that in Paradise there'll be intercourse but there'll be no children. This view was narrated from Tawoos, Muhaajid and Ibraaheem al-Nakha‘i.
Imam al-Bukhaari (may Allah have mercy on him) said: it absolutely was narrated from Abu Razeen al-‘Uqayli that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The people of Paradise won't have children there.”
The hadeeth brought up by al-Bukhaari was narrated by Imam Ahmad (15773) from Abu Razeen al-‘Uqayli (may Allah be pleased with him) during a lengthy hadees within which it says “The righteous women are going to be for the righteous man, you'll enjoy them as you enjoyed them during this world, and that they will enjoy you, but you may not produce children.”
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: it's the dignity and lightweight of Prophethood which suggests that it's saheeh. However it absolutely was classed as da‘eef by al-Albaani in Zalaal al-Jannah, and Shu‘ayb al-Arna’oot said: Its isnaad is da‘eef and could be a series of unknown narrators. The hadees clearly states that there'll be no childbirth, but there's a difference of opinion on its soundness.
With respect to the hadeeth of Abu Sa‘eed (may Allah be pleased with him), “If the believer wishes for a baby in Paradise, the pregnancy, birth and growth will occur within an hour, as he wishes”, it had been noted that its soundness is subject to further discussion. Hence Ibn al-Qayyim said concerning it: Its isnaad meets the conditions of soundness, but it's ghareeb jiddan. Haadi al-Arwaah, p. 213
And he said: With relevance this hadeeth of Abu Saeed al-Khudri, the most effective of its isnaads is that the isnaad of at-Tirmidhi, who determined that it's ghareeb which it's only known from the hadeeth of Abu’s-Siddeeq an-Naaji, and therefore the wording of the hadeeth isn't sound. End quote.
Imam Ishaaq ibn Raahawayh (may Allah have mercy on him) said concerning the hadees of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), “If the believer wishes for a toddler in Paradise, the pregnancy, birth and growth will occur within an hour, as he wishes”: But he won't wish. what's meant by the words of Ishaaq is that the words of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), “If the believer wishes …” are hypothetical ) i.e., if the believer were to wish, but after all he won't wish).
Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned variety of reasons why it's presumably that there'll be no childbirth in Paradise, like the following:
1.The hadees of Ibn Razeen (review & read it )
2.The words of Allah, may He be exalted (interpretation of the meaning): “Therein they shall have Azwajun Mutahharatun (purified mates or wives)” [an-Nisa’ 4:57]. they'rethose who are purified from menses, nifaas (postpartum bleeding) so on. It was narrated that Mujaahid said: Purified from menses, stools, urine, sputum, spitting, maniy (semen) and childbirth.
3.Allah, may He be glorified, made pregnancy and childbirth together with menses & maniy - if women were to become pregnant in Paradise, menses and other discharges wouldn't cease for them.
4.It is proven in As-Saheeh that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “There will remain in Paradise surplus space, and Allah will create a creation for it and cause them to inhabit it (the surplus space).” Narrated by Muslim, 5085. If there have been to be childbirth in Paradise, then this surplus space would be for those that would change state there, and that they would be more entitled to that than others.
5.Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “And people who believe and whose offspring follow them in Faith, to them lets join their offspring” [at-Toor 52:21]. Here He tells us that He will honour them by joining to them their offspring that that they had during this world. If they were to own offspring in Paradise, Allah would have spoken them as He cited their worldly offspring, because they'd be delighted with them (the hypothetical offspring in Paradise) as they were delighted with their children during this world (i.e., the very fact that He mentioned only the worldly offspring indicates that there'll be no offspring in Paradise).
6.Either we say that there will ongoing procreation in Paradise or that it will continue until some point, then cease. But both ideas are impossible, because the former implies endless birth of new individuals, whilst the latter implies the end of one of the pleasures of the people of Paradise, and that is impossible. And we cannot say that there will be procreation and people will die to be succeeded by others, because there is no death there.
7.People will not grow in Paradise as they did in this world, so the children of its people will not grow and become bigger, and the men will not grow. Rather these children will remain small and will not change, and the adults will be thirty-three years old and will not change either. If there were any childbirth in Paradise, then the child would have to grow until it became an adult. It is well known that children who die will reach the age of thirty-three without growing.

Then he said: Paradise is not the realm of procreation; rather it is the place of eternal abode and those who are in it will never die and be replaced by their offspring. Ending quote with
Haadi al-Arwaah, 1/173
And Allah knows best.
