Question:
Honorable Shaykh, plural marriage is the default in the text of the verse.

What is the reason for looking into this? Is it the default or not? Allah has permitted this, and that is enough. He permitted a person to marry one, two, three, or four women. As for us investigating what the default is—whether it is plural marriage or singular marriage—this is a discussion that has no need for it. Yes.
