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.

<b>[u]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?[/u]
</b>
<b>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.
