THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn. 15th day of RAJAB, 1444AH (Monday 6th February. 2023).
*_THE RULINGS ON PLURAL MARRIAGE(POLYGAMY) AND THE WISDOM BEHIND IT_*. BismilLah.
Because Quran and Islam are the final messages to mankind from the Creator ALLAH, it contains rules till judgement day. One of the rules is the permissibility of plural marriage. Let me make it clear to all brothers and sisters in particular that ALLAH does not permit anything if it is not good for us. We all know ALLAH has permitted polygamy with conditions so it's up to us to study the conditions and if we can adhere to its conditions then it's better for us to go for it. ALLAH says in the Qur'an; *_Marry women of your choice, two or three, or four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then marry only one, that is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice”_*. [al-Nisa’ 4:3]. If you study this verse well, you will notice that the command is to marry two, three or four but if you can't afford in handling them justice which includes, caring for them, accommodating them, clothing them etc then marry one meaning polygamy is something ALLAH loves us to go for if we can afford it.
To speak against it or dislike it is a Major sin bcs you are disliking what ALLAH has permitted as such you are indirectly telling ALLAH HE permitted something wrong Astaghfirullah. Basically, polygamy is for those who are Muumin not just Muslims, meaning if your fear of ALLAH is lacking substance then you can't do justice to even one wife let alone two and in such a person, polygamy is forbidden for him. A sister in Marriage must NEVER oppose her husband adding a wife and a sister must never reject going into polygamy unless you have genuine reasons in regards to the eemaan of the brother and in such a situation you raise your concerns with the local imams or elders who were witness to the marriage without just opposing or fighting with your husband or the new sister as many does.
*_May ALLAH increases us in wisdom to understand HIS rulings and protect us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.
