Advice for the man who is obsessed with women and whose wife refuses plural marriage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Your Excellency the Shaykh, I am a man, he says he is a man obsessed with women, and he is married, but his wife refuses that he marry another, and she has not been short with me, but women are a trial, so what is your guidance, may Allah bless you?
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has permitted a man to have multiple wives, and this is for the benefit of women. You know, there are many unmarried women in homes, so Allah made this a benefit for women. As for the man, he bears the burden and hardship of having multiple wives, and he bears the expenses. As for the women, they find someone to shelter them, take care of them, and protect their chastity. This is in the interest of women. And the fact that some women dislike this, dislike being married off against their will, is natural. This is a known, natural aversion. But the man does not submit to it; he does not submit to it. However, he must be just with them. Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:3] that [An-Nisa 4:3] if he is not able to be just, he is not permitted to have multiple wives. If he is able to be just, Allah has permitted him to have multiple wives. Yes.

But if you fear
فَإِنْ خِفْتُمْthat you will not be just, then [marry only] one
أَلَّا تَعْدِلُوا فَوَاحِدَةً
