It is good to see whether you are attracted to someone before marrying them (although attraction tends to be different from just specific features, such as height).

There is nothing wrong with considering height or certain traits of appearance, but sometimes people have a bias about what sorts of features they like or dislike, and this might lead to rejecting someone who you might otherwise be compatible with. So it is good to keep an open mind about what a prospective husband might look like. Someone who looks different from the idea you have in mind could be a pleasant surprise!

Hadith . Paradise . Woman . Hijab

Are there any narrations that mention the rewards in paradise for women who wear Hijab?

Women wearing full Hijab will be in the Paradise because they have obeyed Allah, the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS). We have many Hadeeths about the sever punishment of women who expose their hair or body and don't observe Hijab especially in Hadeeth al-Mi'raaj in which the Prophet (SAWA) was shown the punishment of women who were not wearing Hijab and how they were been hanged in the Hellfire.

Woman . Mosque . Salat al-Jama’at

Is it more recommended for women to pray alone, or to join congregational prayer in public settings such as a mosque or school?

The Hadeeth says: The Masjid of the woman is her house مسجد المرأة بيتها.

Muslim woman can pray in Majid of school if there is another benefit like learning or attending a Majlis or any other useful purpose which can't be achieved from home.

Muslim women used to pry in the Masjid behind the Prophet (SAWA) which means that it is good to that with all arrangements of Hijab.

Hijab . Woman . Punishment . Hadith . Qur'anic Verse

Is wearing Hijab obligatory for Muslim women? If so, does it imply disobedience to Allah and potential punishment? What are the consequences? Could you provide some Hadith or Quran verses to clarify this matter?

Yes with out any doubt, Hijab is obligatory on Muslim women according to concrete evidence in Quran and authentic Hadeeths. Ignoring wearing full Hijab is a sinful act because it means disobeying the orders of Allah (SWT) and it might result in a potential punishment. The Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and his daughter Fatima (AS) have emphasized on Hijab as the best behaviours for a Muslim woman.
Details of Quranic verses and Hadeeths in this subject can be found in many books available in the Internet and articles on many websites including this website www.al-Islam.org.

Among many Quranic verses, I mention as an example the Verse 31 in Sura An-Noor and the verse 59 in Sura Al-Ahzab.

Among many authentic Hadeeths on Hijab subject I mention as examples : 1. Hadeeth from Imam Al-Ridha (AS) stating that Hijab is compulsory on Muslim women. Al-'Illa by Al-Sadouq, page 565.

2. Hadeeth from Imam Ja'far Al-Sadiq (AS): It is not allowed for a man to look at a woman except her face and hands and feet. Al-Kaafi, volume 5, page 521.

3. Hadeeth from Imam Mohammad Al-Baqir, Al-Kaafi, volume 5, page 532.

Paradise . Woman . Spinster

Is it allowed for a woman to remain unmarried in paradise if she does not like the opposite gender?

Paradise will provide fulfilling of every wish of the believers as we read in Quran (Sura 43, verse 71). Man and woman who will in Paradise will get all their wishes fulfilled. The point here is what you wish and think now is not necessarily same what you will think and wish in Paradise because our knowledge here in this world is limited, while our knowledge in Paradise will be much more. When we leave this world, our knowledge will increase and we will see many facts which we did not see in our worldly life. We read in Quran that the person after this world will be told (You were unaware about this fact then we removed away your veil and your sight now is ironic (Sura 50, verse 22).

What we think now is not necessarily the same what we will think in Paradise. After all, Allah (SWT) Has promised to Grant people of Paradise all their wishes.
