Can this be true about Polygamy in Islam?

[AhmedBahgat]

Bismillah
as salam alykom brother


Jazakum Allah khairan katheeran for sharing these thoughts.


I m not sure should I hold on till u post the rest of the opinions or just make a humble comment.


any way since I am already here, brother certainly we agree that the reason of revealing this ayah was originally in protection to orphans as u just stated, i will not repeat this.


However, whenever Allah Legalized something, Allah always Did this on an occaision.


Ex. when Tayamum became permitted, it was on the occaison of Aasha loosing her necklace during a trip.


When adoption became prohibited, it was made so thru a very clear and strong action. when the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam was commanded to marry Zaid's wife.


when doing good deeds was made a cause for erasing bad deeds, it was made so thru the situation in which a companion kissed a woman and went telling the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam after praying Asr in congregation.


My point is, yes polygyny was made persmissible thru this situation of the orphans. However, was not restricted on this situaiton.


I mean Allah Didnt restrict Taymum only if we get stuck in the desert looking for a necklace. But Allah Is the Was`e All Wide and Compassionate. Allah Gave us this license to use even if we fear for our life and health when water is so cold.


Can u see my point. Other wise brother the companions were not going to follow this sunnah of polygyny. I mean Omar after the death of the Messenger married his granddaughter just to attain closeness to the Messenger not to look after orphans.


Brother I understand that u r looking much for a reason on why Allah Allowed men this, when Islam is most of the time blamed for it.


But let me tell u I am a woman and I tell you polygyny is not conditioned. I mean a man does not have to have an execuse to marry. If he fails to be just it is his own problem not the system.


I mean we can not blame the company's by law for the failure of employees to abide by it, can we?


Yes it was legalized in such situation but made to serve as means for so many reasons our limited understanding can not graps. This is Allah's Wisdom brother.


Although I saw in many cases that Allah Is The All Wise and polygyny is a must.


Alhamdulelah for Islam.

Ok sister I agree with your great input, and I accept that in the past they other women for different reasons not to care for the orphans


however to marry a woman because she was related to someone that I cared for and loved, does not make any sense to me, marriage is more than that sister, also not because they were the Sahaba it means they are sinless, or they understood the Quran perfectly, in fact all the hadith combined will hardly cover half of the Quran, for example in Sahih Bukhari there is only hadiths to explain 50 verses only from the 286 verses of sura no 2, i.e. there is 236 verses in sura 2 that have no hadith to expalin it whatsoever, so if we really need that sahaba and hadith to explain the verses to us, what we should do with the many verses that have no hadith to expalin?


it is all about Igtihad, and the Igtihad is based on common sense, not based on discrimination between the sexes


but my point is "regardless what is the right opinion regarding polygamy in Islam", most muslims do not understand it and this is very confusing and affecting muslim socities bad, I will prove this later by showing the other opinions


in fact your opinion is another new one to the above 5, however your opinion have a lot of substance and merit, but when you hear the other opnions (one from a mufti) I'm sure you will be surprised


and finally, i do not claim that the abnove explanation is the right one, rather it has the highest morals and common sense in all opinions, The opnion above is also the most propabale if you consider the warning to be fair to all wives as well the info that we can not be fair between women even if that what was our desire, THEN WE SHOULD MARRY ONE ONLY


also I would love to hear your opinion regarding the word (Ta'Oloo) at the end of verse 4:3 please


I will add the rest of the opinions bit by bit later (been very busy lately)


Take care sister
