Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: It is reported in a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 8:1348. He asks: Is it among the reasons, or is there any harm, if a man marries a second woman? Does she have the right to request a divorce for this reason?
Answer:
No, he may marry a third woman; this is his right, and she should not object to it. However, he must be just, on the condition that he is just among them, that he does not wrong any of them or favor one over the others.
