Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, my wife suffers from a chronic illness, and there is difficulty in contacting her. I tried to convince her to let me marry another woman because of these circumstances, but she refused. What is the Shari'ah position in this matter?
Answer:
This is humiliation. I have the right to marry, and even if it is valid, and even if there is no harm in it, I marry and rely on Allah. Do not be unjust to her, nor to the other wife. You must be just. Yes.
