Question:
A man is in the university and has one wife, and he wants to marry another, whether a virgin or a previously married woman. Do you think he should marry or be patient?
Answer:
The Sunnah is to marry. If marriage is facilitated for him, he should marry. If marriage is facilitated for him and he has the ability, he should marry. Allah says: [Al-Nisa:3]. If he has the ability and knows that he can treat them with justice, but if he fears that he will not be able to do so, [Al-Nisa:3].

Answer:
The Sunnah is to marry. If marriage is facilitated for him, he should marry. If marriage is facilitated for him and he has the ability, he should marry. Allah says:
then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four
فَانْكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَكُمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَثْنَى وَثُلَاثَ وَرُبَاعَBut if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] one
فَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلَّا تَعْدِلُوا فَوَاحِدَةً(Lectures on the Explanation of Bulugh al-Maram, Book of Marriage)
