The questioner : Regarding this story you mentioned about the woman who came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), not complaining about her husband's character or religion, but for some reason, is it derived from this story that it is permissible for a woman to request divorce from her husband for some reason?
The Shaykh : No, she does not request divorce from her husband without a reason; a reason is necessary.
The questioner : Of course, a reason is necessary, but...
The Shaykh : So, what is your question? Is it with a reason or without a reason?
The questioner : With a reason, meaning he wants to marry another woman, for example.
The Shaykh : Hehehe.
The questioner : So there is a reason, meaning.
The Shaykh : The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:, so either you assume there is a cause for complaint or there is no cause for complaint, in which case the answer is clear.
The questioner : By Allah, it is the most severe cause for complaint for her if her husband marries another woman. In my opinion, there is no harm, but in her opinion, it is more severe than this, so it would not be a cause for complaint.
The Shaykh : Your opinion is not a legal basis, nor is her opinion; rather, the hadith must be interpreted according to the principles of the Shari'ah. So, she sees that if he marries another woman!
What do you want in this situation? If you marry one woman, that is enough for you.
