A Woman’s Dislike of Plural Marriage and Disliking What Allah Has Revealed

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is a woman’s dislike of plural marriage considered disliking what Allah has revealed?

The Shaykh:
No. If she disliked the verse containing
marry those that please you of [other] womenفَانكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَكُم مِّنَ النِّسَاءِ
[An-Nisa 4:3]
, that would be apostasy. But she dislikes plural marriage out of personal aversion, not religious aversion. Personal aversion or jealousy among women does not reach the level of apostasy. However, if she said, “I dislike the Qur’an that permits plural marriage” or “I dislike the Messenger who permits plural marriage,” that is undoubtedly apostasy. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you. Is that correct, Honorable Shaykh? It has ended.

The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
