The Wisdom of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) Having Multiple Wives

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the wisdom behind the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) having multiple wives?

Answer:
The wisdom in the wives of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) practicing worship is like the wisdom in the wives of the believers practicing worship. It contains the multiple benefits, some of which we have mentioned to you, regarding the wives of the Messenger and others. The distinction of the wives of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) over the others is that they bear the burden of the Shari'ah for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), narrate the hadiths from him, and convey them to the people. This is among the virtues of knowing the wives of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
