An alternative to the predominate view of Islaamic polygyny as an oppressive, archaic marital practice, <b>Polygynous Blessings: Musings of a Muslim Wife</b> provides an intimate look into the life of MizAzeez, a Muslim wife who lives in a polygynous marriage. A compilation of 7 months of blog entries exploring MizAzeez’s struggle being a plural wife and her ultimate embracing of an otherwise stigmatized marital practice, <b>Polygynous Blessings: Musings of a Muslim Wife</b> includes personal reflections, excerpts from the Qur’aan and Sunnah (statements and actions of the Prophet of Islaam, Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him), and religious verdicts by renowned Muslim scholars.

And among His signs is this, that He has created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect."
~The Noble Qur'aan (30:21)~

Mash a Allah aneesa, seems that after some remarks over this board that u sought advice on you writing a book. Well i m no scholar, not even near one. but i use my mind. I did read the reply to your question. But I dont think being a female and writing a book calling others to the correct path, yes putting correct info about polygny is calling others to the correct path would not be rewarded.
May Allah Reward you much.
We miss you sister. :) Ramadan Mubarak. :wavey:

I contacted sister aneesa and she allowed me to copy and past the fatwa:
***IMPORTANT NOTICE***
Bismillaah Inalhamdulillaah was-Salaatu was-Salaamu 'ala Rasulillaah wa ba'd:
As-Salaamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
In light of some speculation regarding the permissibility of my writing a book on polygyny due to my not being a scholar, I sought the naseehah of Brother Mustafa George regarding the matter. Brother Mustafa retrieved the following info from the 'ulamaa, may Allah reward him and all the scholars and students of knowledge. Ameen.

Is it permissible for a female to author a book mentioning the good aspects of polygny, if this female has not studied Islamic Education in a university or with the scholars?
Answer: This is something good that she would write such a book, but she should have it reviewed by the people of knowledge before distributing it.
(Sheikh Abdul Azeez Al Rajhi)
***ATTENTION UK BOOK READERS*** Polygynous Blessings: Musings of a Muslim Wife is now available directly from the UK (free shipping) via The Islamic Book Club.
She further informed me that Mash a Allah she is working on a book on polygyny from the persepctive of the subsequent wife. May Allah Grant her success. She will be Insh a Allah keeping us posted.
