Polygyny in Islam | Dr. Shabir Ally

Does Islam really allow a man to have up to four wives? It seems that such a practice puts women in a very challenging and difficult position. Is there a specific verse in the Quran about polygamy? Dr. Shabir Ally joins to discuss this further.

    My advice to fellow brothers is stick to one, because you can never do justice to two let alone up to four wives, my first cousin has 3 wives and its a total chaos, and he used that exact verse from the Qur’aan to his advantage to marry young lady’s, well guess what it back fired to his face and until now its still a mess, the Qur’aan is a balance book, if you take something to advance your personal agenda be ready for the blow back.

    Your advice should have been, brothers help out the sisters by practicing Sunnah of our prophet scw polygyny. To illustrate this, we refer to the Qur'anic passage on the subject of polygyny, a text which conveys more than one meaning, as follows 'And if you fear that you may be unable to treat the orphans fairly, then marry of the women who seem good to you, two, three or four. But if you fear that you cannot treat [your co-wives] equitably, then marry only one. . .' (al-Nisa', 4:3). At least three or four meanings are distinguishable in this text which are: first, the legality of marriage, a meaning which is conveyed by the phrase fankihu ma taba lakum min al-nisa' ('marry of the women who seem good to you'); second, limiting polygyny to the maximum of four; third, remaining monogamous if polygyny may be feared to lead to injustice; and fourth, the requirement that orphaned girls must be accorded fair treatment, a meaning which is indicated in the first part of the text. All of these are conveyed in the actual words and sentences of the text. But the first and the last are subsidiary and incidental whereas the second and the third represent the explicit themes and meanings of the text, that is, the 'ibarah al- nass. Limiting polygyny to the maximum of four is the explicit meaning which takes absolute priority over all the implied and incidental meanings that this text might convey.[2. Khallaf, 'Ilm, p. 145.]

    Yes, the men always leave out the "be fair, be just" part, which is the most crucial . The part that puts accountability on the man, and if done well will usher in peace and amiability. This was one of my requests, and I was very reasonable with it. But my ex struggled. So, I ask the question; shouldn't finances, mental health and islamic knowledge be the focus of the men who choose to follow this sunnah.

    You CAN not should marry more than one wife if you fear injustice for the orphans. This is what is stated in the Quran, widows are not stated in that verse. You can not marry the child, the orphan, no. You should marry his/her mother, which is now a widow, because muslim man have the responsibility to care for their family. So naturally, by marrying her you HAVE to care for her and her children. That way it is made sure that the orphans and the widows are taken care of. Back in those days alone mothers with children had it so hard that they basically could not care for themselves. So this was a good solution. Nowadays, we generally do not fear injustice for widows and orphans because a lot of states have welfare and such and help these people. So they are taken care of and do not necessarily need a man. So, in todays world, you simply (generally, some countries are exceptions) do not have legitimate reasons to marry more than one wife, and if you do not have a reason than it is illegal to do it.

    There is nothing in the Quran that says be content with what you have. You cannot project today's western culture into the Quran. Polygyny did not begin with the Quran. It was practiced long before the Quran was revealed. The Quran just regulates polygyny when marrying the mothers of orphans. The limit of 4 wives at a time is only in terms of marrying to ensure that a man will not be overburdened with the responsibility of taken care of too many orphans at one time. Actually the Quran does not limit the number of wives a man can marry. The Prophet himself actually had 9 wives. Other companions also had more than 4 wives. Remember the Quran also allowed men marry women captives of warfare against the Pagan Quresh tribe.

    It will help the women as most women even in muslim society dont get as many proposals for marriage. If men starting having more than 1 wife it will uplift women and they can choose whether they opt for becomming first wife or second. Similarly women who are widowed will also get proposals that will not only help those women but society as a whole. Now comming to your point about men not getting wife, brother there are more women than men in most of the countries even in us and uk alone there are 3 to 4 million more women than men. Similarly men die most often than women due to accidents and getting difficult jobs.

    Love this video, but there’s one major issue that wasn’t talked about which is the issue of whether or not it’s moral or immoral to marry more than one wife in a country that doesn’t legally recognize polygamy. This is important because wives two and on won’t be legally recognized as being married, so they’ll be relegated to a second class status within the legal system and within that marriage. And if wives 2 and on are regulated to a second class status then they’re not being treated fairly, which goes against the Quran commanding husbands to treat their wives fairly. It shouldn’t be permissible to marry more than one person in a country that has made it illegal to marry more than one person.

    Mullahs disregard the 'if you fear' in the verse. YATAMA means orphans as well as unmarried, divorced or widowed women. 4:3 If you fear that you (the society) will not be able to do justice with the orphans, (as may happen in times of war and political turbulence, the government shall announce a state of Emergency), then, in order to accommodate widows and orphans, men of sound finances and character shall be encouraged to marry among these widows with mutual choice; two, three, and four. But, if you fear that you will not be able to deal justly, then, you must not take additional wives, and may continue with what you already have. This will be more suitable to prevent you from doing injustice and face financial hardship. [Second marriage during peace time is a frank violation of the Qur’an - note ‘If you fear’ in the beginning. 4:127-129]

    I shouldn’t be writing as maybe what I write can be false or misleading and definitely would not like this to be used against me on the day of judgement. But Shabir Ally has explained this very well in my opinion. He has stated the quranic verse for clarity. When compared to other verses in the Quran, 2, 3 and 4s is a reference to more than one. I do not know if 4 is the maximum or not. From the context of the verse we can also see that multiple marriage is purely conditional(it’s what I believe anyway). A condition is stated before the command is made permissible. Also if you fear injustice then only one. Injustice is a very powerful word. The Islamic religion is based on justice and rights. The problem is we as a Muslim community do not read or apply logic to most things these days, rather chase carnal desires.. (I am not a scholar, this is clearly my opinion. Whatever I have stated is my own. If I have said something wrong, this is not on part of the religion, but my own. I take full responsibility. Allah knows best).

You will incline towards one and leave hanging other in between. Therefore one wife is recommended because we are unable to be equal between the two.

    actually, I have learned Quran almost 35 years. I do have the same conclusion that even it is allowed to marry more than one, but it is not recommended. The argument is that, we have to consider whole Quran. In other ayah, it is said that God made human as a weak, also tend to unjust, greedy, miserly, etc. So having said that, I honestly think that what God recommends us to do is to marry one woman. But again, it just a recommendation, not a law.

    You're wrong actually, in a time of war when there are few men and multiple widows with sexual needs that also have children that need financial care, it makes sense for men to have multiple wives to cater for that need in society. It is so that every woman can have a stable relationship and family. Islam caters for extreme times as well as otherwise. The Quran actually says if you cannot do justice, then marry only one. So if these men cant do justice then they arent allowed to practice polygyny! No other religion actually has this written command for monogamy. Men may abuse the ruling but the wisdom of the religion is evident.

    The reasons for which Polygamy was made Halal in Islam in the days of our Prophet (pbuh) is obsolete now-the protection of widows and orphan children who lost their family member in war, and supporting them. We are told repeatedly men can marry four, but what about the Hadith where our Prophet told Ali (RA) not to marry again without divorcing Fatema (RA). He saw his daughter being so dishearted. Later that marriage was cancelled.

    I think, Here normal norm is 1 wife to 1 husband. Quran 4:20 But if you want to replace one wife with another and you have given one of them a great amount [in gifts], do not take [back] from it anything. Would you take it in injustice and manifest sin? if there is a calamity in the society and women orphan are helpless, you can marry them to give shelter. [condition in syria] Quran 4:3 If you fear that you (the society) will not be able to do justice with the orphans, (as may happen in times of war and political turbulence, the government shall announce a state of Emergency), then, in order to accommodate widows and orphans, men of sound finances and character shall be encouraged to marry among these widows with mutual choice; two, three, and four. But, if you fear that you will not be able to deal justly, then, you must not take additional wives. This will be more suitable to prevent you from doing injustice and face financial hardship. so if multiple marriage is done just for pleasure and not for sheltering orphans, poor victim women, this may go against the rule. - Allah knows best.

The reward a woman gets for bearing it with patience is huge. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said, "Allah has decreed jealousy on women and jihad on men. Whoever bears that with patience seeking their reward will receive it without reckoning." So, think of the female equivalent of that, which is polygamy. It's a test. It benefits society.

    I have to defend the view that polygyny is still acceptable practice today as long as on abuse, or coercion involved. 1. In times when women numbers exceed men's, e.g. wars, such practice can be fair even in welfare society. Money alone is not always enough. 2. Most societies, especially western societies, men have multiple relations outnumber men who do not. Considering the second relationship as a marriage would protect women rights and prohibit men from abusing them in a non-committed relationship. This is why multiple relationships in Muslim societies is much less than in western societies. 3. In traditional societies, elders might try marry their vulnerable widowers to a men they trust even if the men are already married as a way to protect the widowers and the children from dangerous strangers. 4. In case of infertile women, a second marriage can a convenient option to all parties. 5. In decent Islamic practice the first wife has the right to prohibit her husband in the marital contract from having a second marriage.

Of course, some women are adulterous, too. 3. What "dangerous strangers" are you talking about? Surely the onus should be on changing these men's behaviour and ensuring women and children have protection from the law. You shouldn't have to marry just for protection! 4. I don't think a second marriage would be "a convenient option" for an infertile woman. It's a true insult. If God had meant a couple to have children, it would have happened. Perhaps the woman should be able to marry again if her husband is infertile. 5. Unfortunately Islam isn't always practised decently. Women often don't have the right to prohibit her husband from marrying again.

    The verse starts by saying marry wives in twos, threes and fours BUT if you can't do justice to them marry only one, so by the order it implies to try and marry 2, 3 or 4 first if you can but if you can't marry only one like a last resort kind of thing. Zakir Naik said it's the only religious book that says marry only one but he conveniently leaves out the above, so really most Muslims should have at least two wives. When brother Shabir said about the tribe it made sense why but it doesn't make sense in todays culture and most are not following it which isn't very devout so I asked before if it should've been in Quran if no one seems to adhere to it. Or should it have been said the other way marry only one but if you need to marry 2, 3 or 4. That way most would've done it correctly but it seems it is not so.

    You need to understand the context. 4 wifes was mentioned but why? isn’t one enough? Islam says be fair as a main point. Don’t ever think 4 wives being permissible if you cannot treat fairly and in this world, even one wife isn’t being treated fairly at many many occasions. Look back at the main reason why the prophet pbuh had to practice it. Moreover, in his 50 years he dedicated his time to Khadija. Only after the widowed women increased in number it became a thing. Again, context matters. Saying it’s permissible freely without context turns men to animals acting on nothing but lust.

    Let the Quran speak, the rest of the attachment and false stories doesn't matter to me. Enough of historical nonsense. Blessings to you

    That won't work. Women are created monogamous and since we're the ones that have the babies, it's issues with paternity. Men are polygamous.

    @@jonezmontenegro3916 I hope you can afford to buy four houses and provide for four households. As a Muslim, I don't marry more than one, because the conditions and responsibilities are too many. I am already struggling everyday to provide for one wife. If I had four, I would be bancrupt.
