Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the last of this questioner's questions from Yemen, she asks and says: Your Eminence, the Shaykh: What is the number of the Messenger's (peace and blessings be upon him) wives?
Answer:
His wives were nine, those whom he outlived. The women whom he outlived while they were in his marriage were nine women—may Allah be pleased with them and grant them satisfaction. Allah permitted this to him specifically, whereas the general community is not allowed to exceed four. [Al-Nisa: 3] The community is restricted to four, but as for him (peace and blessings be upon him), Allah permitted him more than that, and he outlived nine—(peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
