What are the conditions for plural marriage?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The one who is capable of marriage, able to afford the mahr, and able to be just. Should we advise young men to marry two, three, or four?

The Shaykh : I advise the one among them who is able. I have no words to add after the words of the Qur'an and the Sunnah,
then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four فإنكحوا ماطاب لكم من النساء مثنى وثلاث ورباع
[An-Nisa 4:3]
, and the condition is justice; otherwise, the matter is clear.
