The questioner : Do you not see, O Shaykh, that the large number of girls currently present, meaning as long as it exceeds the number of men, do you not see this as encouraging this wisdom, the wisdom of plural marriage?

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, it is so, but perhaps a person there will say to you, bring her here, - the brothers are laughing -.

The questioner : Our Shaykh, by Allah, we have girls who are waiting for proposals to be made to them.

The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar, come on Abu Ahmad, pull yourself together - he laughsThe Shaykh : (may Allah have mercy on him) and the students -

The questioner : And as for the others, may Allah guide us and guide them.

The Shaykh : O Allah, amen.

The questioner : The mahr, questionThe Shaykh : is it expensive or not .. ?

The questioner : The mahr, meaning it goes back to the girl and her upbringing.

The Shaykh : Meaning it does not go back to her guardian?

The questioner : And we say here that upbringing, meaning the primary person responsible for upbringing is the guardian.

The Shaykh : Do you have a guardian who does not ask for an expensive mahr?

The questioner : Yes, Shaykh.

The Shaykh : There is some of this, praise be to Allah.
