Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a woman dislikes her husband taking a second wife, knowing that this is what Allah has revealed in His Book and what He has obligated, does she fall under the category of disliking what Allah has revealed?
Answer:
This question has been asked before. We have said that this is a natural dislike, not a religious dislike. It is not disliking what Allah has revealed. She is a believer and a Muslim, but this is a matter of female jealousy, the jealousy between women. It is only a natural dislike. This is not considered disliking what Allah has revealed; rather, it is a dislike of the co-wife. Yes.
