Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I am a young man, married, praise be to Allah, and I have children. However, I want to marry a second wife, but my father told me, "If you marry, you are not my son." I have a house that is my property. If I marry, will I be undutiful to my father? Please give us a ruling; may Allah reward you.
Answer:
You are not undutiful to your father. This is a right that Allah has given you, and there is no harm to your father from this. There is no objection to your marrying and pleasing your father by convincing him. As for his preventing you from marrying a second time, he has no right to prevent you from something that Allah has made permissible for you.
