Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is the default ruling on marriage plural marriage?
Answer:
The default is permissibility. The surprise and the lack of surprise are all conditional; we do not say the default is such and such. It is all conditional, praise be to Allah. This is an act of artificiality; this is an act of artificiality, saying the default is this or the default is that. Allah sent this and that, and that is the end of it. A person follows what he sees to be beneficial. Yes.
