8 good reasons why Islam encourages polygamy. 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.

Objection:

Some people may object and say that plural marriage means having co-wives in one house, and that the disputes and enmity that may arise between co-wives will have an effect on the husband, children and others, and this is harmful and should be avoided, and the only way to prevent that is to ban plural marriage.

Response to the objection:

The response to that is that family arguments may occur even when there is only one wife, and they may not even happen when there is more than one wife, as we see in real life. Even if we assume that there may be more arguments than in a marriage to one wife, even if we accept that they may be harmful and bad, the harm is outweighed by the many good things in a plural marriage. Life is not entirely bad or entirely good, but what everyone hopes is that the good will outweigh the bad, and this principle is what applies in the permission for plural marriage.

Moreover, each wife has the right to her own, separate accommodation as prescribed in Islam. It is not permissible for the husband to force his wives to live together in one house.

Another objection:

If we allow men to have plural wives, why are women not allowed to have multiple husbands, why does a woman not have the right to marry more than one man?

Response to this objection:

There is no point in giving a woman the right to marry multiple husbands, rather that is beneath her dignity and she would not know the lineage of her children, because she is the one who bears the offspring, and it is not permissible for the offspring to be formed from the sperm of a number of men lest the lineage of the child be lost and no one will know who is responsible for bringing up the child; this will lead to breakdown of families, loss of ties between fathers and children, which is not permitted in Islam as it is not in the interests of the woman or of the child or of society as a whole.

For example, I married a man when he was poor. We live in a small house. We have four kids all born to poverty. You struggle and I do so with you.

After the long hardship Allah later accept our prayers and bless our home.

The next thing my husband did is marry another wife. Do you think I will be happy? NO.

Time goes on as I have accept my faith by respecting the will of Allah.

Then now my husband new wife is pregnant for the first time. My husband buy me a car and now he wants to make it equal and bought a car for his new wife too and that is how everything now go on after.

Tell me any woman that we be happy with this.

Islam allows polygamy, It does not encourage Polygamy.. This distinction should be clear.

It is an option for muslims if they can fulfill the condition of justice.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us using your own example. While I truly understand your concerns, there are certain things that must be put in perspective. Before Islam ever came, polygamy was the order. You know this, I know it too. Truly, you might have married your husband when he was poor,but I do not think you are rich either. And even if you are rich, you didn't marry him because of his poor status. You married him because you wanted to marry him, poor or not. While still poor, he might have married another wife still. I want to believe that, even with his poor status, he gave you according to his means, which you appreciated. The fact that he his poor doesn't mean you are not aware he could marry more than one wife. Every woman is aware their husband could toe this path, legitimately or illegitimately. It might make you uncomfortable, but it is the reality. What I think is that, you shouldn't be unhappy because your husband do something for the other person, when he didn't deny you yours. If he does his duty to you, you shouldn't be unhappy, if he does his duty to the other person. There are many husbands who does more for younger wife than the first. But yours isn't like that. It means your husband is trying to be just. Kindly make yourself happy and take your mind off what he does for the other person and Allah will bless you and your children abundantly.

My dear, true, Islam allows polygamy, but it not only allows it, it also encourages it for those that have the means and can do justice. This is the reality. Most things in Islam are mandatory, yet optional, except the believe in Allah, his prophet and salat. Fasting is compulsory, but if you can't due to certain illness, you can avoid it. Hajj is only mandatory for those who have the means. Having more than one wife is encouraged only for those who have the means and can do justice. Peace

Comparing Polygamy to hajj and fasting is ridiculous. Polygamy is completely optional and not for everyone. The prophet stayed in a monogamous marriage for most of his life.

It is allowed on condition only, even at that, it is still a personal choice.

Hajj is a pillar of Islam. Polygamy is not. They are not comparable. If one has the resources and health but refuses to go on Hajj, he is sinning. Polygamy on the other hand is completely optional.

Firstly I am not married and my point is before you guys embarks on marry a second wife, you should make sure you provide and satisfy the first wife who had been suffering with you for a while e.g buying a car for her, sponsoring her business, giving her cash if possible built a house for her in order to compensate her.

After that you can now marry another wife and start to equalize among them believe me the first wife will be a little satisfied.

I totally agree with you and I really get where you coming from. It's a pity our brothers would just marry a second wife when things get a little bit better and thereby forcing the first wife to endure the competition after the patience and all that she had to endure.

Mtcheeeeew. perverts everywhere.
I must say your illustration is the dumbest thing i have ever heard so how does marrying more than one wife make you closer to allah keep deceiving yourself only a wicked msn who is not worthy of being a father will want to raise children in a polygamous home.
So you will be happy that your daughter is leaving with a man who doesn't make her happy.
The prophets actions were not the best but its justified
But all this 2 naira 50 kobo boys that think you are men need to grow up because you know better and no one has ever said anything good about polygamy.
Discipline is what makes a man not the number of wives and children that he has that will cause him to his grave.
Muslim women listen to me well run from a man who tells you to leave everything for him and make him your head and yet cannot sacrifice his sexual desires for an olosho because of you its not worth it.
You deserve to be happy allah has never denied women that so don't be suffering and smiling even if you can endure can your children grow up with the division in the house.
A man who cannot be faithful to 1 wife can never be faithful and just to 4. them go still follow ashawo so my sister run for your life the quran didn't make it compulsory for a woman to stay with a man when he wants to marry another one.

"....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 only one or (slaves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice”[nisaa']

Allaah made polygamy lawful and permissible and here you are saying you hate it? "do you believe in some part of the book and disbelieve in some"?[Baqarah]

There's no body that can be just even amongst children you like ine more than the other.

here are the conditions attached to a polygamous 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.

SOURCE

And its not kufr neither is it permissible if not allah will not put a condition that that even the prophet faulted because he loved aishat more how much more ordinary men. And no one is perfect sir except we don't want to say the truth.

sister its kufr to refute Allaah's words a'udhubillaah, I think the problem you are having the aayah that says one should be just and one cannot be just, that has been explained up there.....being just does not refer to love in the heart, a man dont have control over that, but a man can control exhibiting that he loves one woman than the other, this one of the things the Quran is talking about, not what you are saying.


There's no isokuso orokoro

it is isokuso ati orokoro for you to confidently say the prophets dont have best of actions, REMEMBER, THIS IS WHY I QUOTED YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE.


except its the truth and my opinion sir thank you.
There's nothing as sacred as the love of husband and wife for allah.

your opinion when it comes to the deen of Allaah does not count, thank you ma.

You don't need to complain, you could have gone for a religion where your husband getting a second wife is not permitted.

Yeah, sure. One man, one wife, 49 mistresses. Shio

Ma I'm a child o but don't you think its better if you leave the house with your children and dedicate your life to allah instead of avoiding ways not to make allah angry because from your illustration you are not happy and you deserve to be. Allah wants that for you and i and there's no greater reward than serving him.

Indeed u r a child. Hating a permissible thing in the sharia is lack of tawheed. Ask Allaah to forgive u ukhtii.

Just waiting to see how the discussion will turn out.

Maybe I will need to point out certain things or share my views later.
