ALLAH’S ORDAINMENT
“…Marry from the women with whom you are pleased, two, three or four.” (An-Nisaa’, Aayat 3)
The standing practice during Quroon-e-Thalaathah (The initial three noble eras of Islam) was polygamy or polygyny, i.e. marrying more than one wife – a practise explicitly permitted by the Qur’aan Majeed and numerous Ahaadith. This Practice is embedded in Islam by the practical implementation of the Qur’aanic permission by Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the Sahaabah, as well as by the Ambiyaa (Alahimus Salaam) of bygone times.
