1 – The ruling on plural marriage in Islam:

The shar’i text which permits plural marriage is: 

Allaah says in His Holy Book (interpretation of the meaning): 

“And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls then marry (other) 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 only one or (slaves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice”

[al-Nisa’ 4:3]

This is a Qur’aanic text which shows that plural marriage is allowed. According to Islamic sharee’ah, a man is permitted to marry one, two, three or four wives, in the sense that he may have this number of wives at one time. It is not permissible for him to have more than four. This was stated by the mufassireen (commentators on the Qur’aan) and fuqaha’ (jurists), and there is consensus among the Muslims on this point, with no differing opinions. 

It should be noted that there are conditions attached to plural marriage: 

1 – Justice or fairness. 

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one”

[al-Nisa’ 4:3] 

This aayah is indicates that just treatment is a condition for plural marriage to be permitted. If a man is afraid that he will not be able to treat his wives justly if he marries more than one, then it is forbidden for him to marry more than one. What is meant by the justice that is required in order for a man to be permitted to have more than one wife is that he should treat his wives equally in terms of spending, clothing, spending the night with them and other material things that are under his control. 

With regard to justice or fairness in terms of love, he is not held accountable for that, and that is not required of him because he has no control over that. This is what is meant by the verse, 

“You will never be able to do perfect justice between wives even if it is your ardent desire”

[al-Nisa’ 4:129 – interpretation of the meaning]. 

2 – The ability to spend on one’s wives: 

The evidence for this condition is the verse: 

“And let those who find not the financial means for marriage keep themselves chaste, until Allaah enriches them of His Bounty”

[al-Noor 24:33 – interpretation of the meaning] 

In this verse Allaah commands those who are able to get married but cannot find the financial means, to remain chaste. One such example is not having enough money to pay the mahr (dowry) and not being able to spend on one’s wife. (al-Mufassal fi Ahkaam al-Mar’ah, part 6, p. 286). 

2 – The wisdom behind permitting plural marriage

1 – Plural marriage helps to increase the numbers of the ummah (nation, Muslim community). It is known that the numbers can only be increased through marriage, and the number of offspring gained through plural marriage will be greater than that achieved through marriage to one wife. 

Wise people know that increasing the number of offspring will strengthen the ummah and increase the number of workers in it, which will raise its economic standard – if the leaders run the affairs of state well and make use of its resources in a proper manner. Ignore the claims of those who say that increasing the numbers of human beings poses a danger to the earth’s resources which are insufficient, for Allaah the Most Wise Who has prescribed plural marriage has guaranteed to provide provision for His slaves and has created on earth what is more than sufficient for them. Whatever shortfall exists is due to the injustice of administrations, governments and individuals, and due to bad management. Look at China, for example, the greatest nation on earth as far as number of inhabitants is concerned, and it is regarded as one of the strongest nations in the world, and other nations would think twice before upsetting China; it is also one of the great industrialized nations. Who would dare think of attacking China, I wonder? And why? 

2 – Statistics show that the number of women is greater than the number of men; if each man were to marry just one woman, this would mean that some women would be left without a husband, which would have a harmful effect on her and on society: 

The harmful effect is that she would never find a husband to take care of her interests, to give her a place to live, to spend on her, to protect her from haraam desires, and to give her children to bring her joy. This may lead to deviance and going astray, except for those on whom Allaah has mercy. 

With regard to the harmful effects on society, it is well known that this woman who is left without a husband may deviate from the straight path and follow the ways of promiscuity, so she may fall into the swamp of adultery and prostitution – may Allaah keep us safe and sound – which leads to the spread of immorality and the emergence of fatal diseases such as AIDS and other contagious diseases for which there is no cure. It also leads to family breakdown and the birth of children whose identity is unknown, and who do not know who their fathers are. 

Those children do not find anyone to show compassion towards them or any mature man to raise them properly. When they go out into the world and find out the truth, that they are illegitimate, that is reflected in their behaviour, and they become exposed to deviance and going astray. They may even bear grudges against society, and who knows? They may become the means of their country’s destruction, leaders of deviant gangs, as is the case in many nations in the world. 

3 – Men are exposed to incidents that may end their lives, for they work in dangerous professions. They are the soldiers who fight in battle, and more men may die than women. This is one of the things that raise the percentage of husbandless women, and the only solution to this problem is plural marriage. 

4 – There are some men who may have strong physical desires, for whom one wife is not enough. If the door is closed to such a man and he is told, you are not allowed more than one wife, this will cause great hardship to him, and his desire may find outlets in forbidden ways. 

In addition to that, a woman menstruates each month, and when she gives birth, she bleeds for forty days (this post-partum bleeding is called nifaas in Arabic), at which time a man cannot have intercourse with his wife, because intercourse at the time of menstruation or nifaas is forbidden, and the harm that it causes has been proven medically. So plural marriage is permitted when one is able to be fair and just. 

5 – Plural marriage does not exist only in the Islamic religion, rather it was known among the previous nations. Some of the Prophets were married to more than one woman. The Prophet of Allaah Sulaymaan (Solomon) had ninety wives. At the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), there were some men who became Muslims who had eight or five wives. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told them to keep four wives and to divorce the rest. 

6 – A wife may be barren, or she may not meet her husband’s needs, or he may be unable to have intercourse with her because she is sick. A husband may long to have children, which is a legitimate desire, and he may want to have a sex life within marriage, which is something permissible, and the only way is to marry another wife. It is only fair for the wife to agree to remain his wife and to allow him to marry another. 

7 – A woman may be one of the man’s relatives and have no one to look after her, and she is unmarried or a widow whose husband has died, and the man may think that the best thing to do for her is to include her in his household as a wife along with his first wife, so that he will both keep her chaste and spend on her. This is better for her than leaving her alone and being content only to spend on her. 

8 – There are other shar’i interests that call for plural marriages, such as strengthening the bonds between families, or strengthening the bonds between a leader and some of his people or group, and he may think that one of the ways of achieving this aim is to become related to them through marriage, even if that is through plural marriage.

Now you're confessing about how Islam is growing. It's not by preaching to people, it's simply by procreation.

So this is the nonsense you teach to people that make them to be giving birth to children they can't take care of.

Narrated By 'Ali bin Al-Husain
That when they reached Medina after returning from Yazid bin Mu'awaiya after the martyrdom of Husain bin 'Ali (may Allah bestow His Mercy upon him), Al-Miswar bin Makhrama met him and said to him, "Do you have any need you may order me to satisfy?" 'Ali said, "No." Al-Miswar said, Will you give me the sword of Allah's Apostle for I am afraid that people may take it from you by force? By Allah, if you give it to me, they will never be able to take it till I die." [b]When Ali bin Abu Talib demanded the hand of the daughter of Abi Jahal to be his wife besides Fatima, I heard Allah's Apostle on his pulpit delivering a sermon in this connection before the people, and I had then attained my age of puberty. Allah's Apostle said, "Fatima is from me, and I am afraid she will be subjected to trials in her religion (because of jealousy)." [/b]The Prophet then mentioned one of his son-in-law who was from the tribe of 'Abu Shams, and he praised him as a good son-in-law, saying, "Whatever he said was the truth, and he promised me and fulfilled his promise. I do not make a legal thing illegal, nor do I make an illegal thing legal, but by Allah, the daughter of Allah's Apostle and the daughter of the enemy of Allah, (i.e. Abu Jahl) can never get together (as the wives of one man) (See Hadith No. 76, Vo. 5).

That man was warlord, just like our own sango or Afonja even Yusuf of book haram. He conquered the then followers as a result wars and battles and not by way of spiritual connection with God.

Just imagine if boko haram conquer north east now, and force people to believe in his self doctrine, 100 yrs to come the adherents will also called him prophet from God, who fought battle with Nigeria and conquered

Ibrahim, Yakubu, Ayuba would have been a better spiritual leader far more than Mohammed.

Very unfortunately such man is spiritual leader of billion adherents in the world today.

He was complete opposite of what he preached.

Read very well so not to be confused....
May I point out that the Hadith (4:342) has been slightly misunderstood. Please allow me to clarify…

Mohammad never forbade Ali from marrying another woman while he was married to Fatima. It was because as per the tribal order of the day and the social values of the time, a man could marry multiple women, just that Islam put a limit of 4 on it.

So, Ali was free to marry up to 4 women at a time, Fatima included. This would have been in accordance with the Islamic doctrine on marriage.

In the said Hadith (4:342) however is described what had transpired after the death of the prophet. Ali had demanded the hand of the daughter of Abu-Jahl in marriage. At this point he was reminded that the prophet had once said in connection with another of his son-in-laws that the daughter of the prophet can never be the wife to the man who married the daughter of the biggest enemy of Allah i.e. Abu-Jahl. It is worth noting that in its initial years the Muslims had suffered the most at the hands of Abu-Jahl.

In fact within this hadith, the prophet is also reported to have said that “ I do not make a legal thing illegal, nor do I make an illegal thing legal”. So, this hadith is not an injunction nor does it change the established Islamic law. It is merely an emotional appeal from the father of a daughter to his son-in-law because this marriage would cause a lot of distress to his daughters.

Nonsense, so muhammad did not think of hurting his other wives when he married the daughter and wife of enemies of Allah?

Was the husband and father of Safiya that Muhammad married not enemies of Allah?

Muhammad didnt want his daughter to get jealous and get hurt from rival wife, but he was hurting other people's children by marrying many women and even having a favourite wife among them and not treating them equally

ChoCho54:

Give it up!

RasululLah (SAW) didn't forbid Ali RA from having another wife (which would be making a legal thing illegal) but from marrying the daughter of Abu Jahl, an enemy of Islam, while being married to the wife of RasululLah, giving the two of them equal status, which would be a distressful thing for the entire Muslim community.

In fact, according to the Sunni POV, Ali RA had slaves he had children with, while married to Fatima RA.

The question of Ali RA running off to secretly visit Abu Jahl’s daughter is of course untrue, and Sunnis do NOT allege this. Aside from the fact of the geographical distance, there was the fact that this was no secret, and such disgraceful behaviour could not be expected of ANY sahabi. He sent a messenger with an offer of marriage for her, but when RasululLah SAWS heard about it, he told him to take back his offer. Long distance offers of marriage were not unusual, and if the offer was accepted, a marriage might be arranged at a later date when one or the other traveled to meet.

Muhammad already told us why he didn't want Ali to marry another wife. He didn't want Fatima to be jealous.

But he didn't care of other people's daughters were jealous.

Allah's Apostle said, "Fatima is from me, and I am afraid she will be subjected to trials in her religion (because of jealousy)."


As for the daughter of enemies of Allah. Safiya that Muhammad married was both the daughter and wife of enemies of Allah
