The ruling on marrying more than one wife due to the lack of children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh Salih, the listener. I have been married for four years, and up to now there has been no pregnancy. Do I have the right to marry a second wife? And if I marry a second wife, will I be sinful and have wronged the first wife? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Marry up to four; Allah has made that permissible for you, and there is reward in this. Marry for the sake of protecting a person from corruption, and for the sake of seeking righteous offspring. So marry up to four women if you are able to do so. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
