Is the woman who dislikes plural marriage considered a disbeliever because she hated something that came in the Qur'an?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, the father. The questioner says: In the treatise *Nawaqid al-Islam* (Nullifiers of Islam) by Shaykh al-Islam Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him), it is stated that whoever hates something that came in the Qur'an or something that came from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) has committed disbelief. The questioner says: It is known that a woman dislikes her husband taking another wife. Does this make her a disbeliever?

Answer:
It is a religious dislike, my brother. It is not a religious dislike. It is not a dislike of the legislation. It is merely a psychological dislike. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:
Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to youكُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِتَالُ وَهُوَ كُرْهٌ لَّكُمْ
[Al-Baqarah 2:216]
. Does this mean that the Companions became disbelievers because they disliked it? This is a psychological dislike, not a dislike of the legislation. A person is not held accountable for a psychological dislike. Yes.
