Question:
Is plural marriage merely permissible, or is it a recommended practice that was reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
The text indicates that it is a recommended practice; at the very least, it is a recommended practice: [Surat al-Nisa:3] is a command, but conditional upon justice and uprightness.
As for when one fears that he will not be just due to his limited wealth, or due to some weakness he knows in himself; then he should not marry except one woman.
