The Statement on One Who Disapproves of One Who Intends to Marry Multiple Times

Question:
We observe a dangerous phenomenon in our Muslim society, which is disapproving of every person who attempts to marry a second time. Where is the role of the honorable scholars in educating this society? I am a young Muslim man, and I am married—praise be to Allah—and I am looking for another wife, but I have not found even a listening ear. Everyone mocks me. How can we accept part of the Book and reject part of it?

Answer:
May Allah make your matter easy. I heard the lecture that confirms what you said and commands permission, and this is a matter concerning the scholars. I heard the lecture just now, and the commentary on it. And you—may Allah will it—will comment later in the societies; because the rule, as mentioned, is .
You have heard the lecture just now, and you have heard the commentary; so you must convey it. You are one of them Convey to those behind you in your societies, your families, and your tribes that plural marriage is permissible, and that it is prescribed with the seeking of justice, and with the fear of Allah in that. And convey to the women that they should not refuse this, and that they should be patient, and that they should seek reward from Allah; so that the number of married people increases, and the number of unmarried women decreases, and the number of young men delayed in marriage decreases. This is if there is cooperation with the effort to reduce mahr (bridal gifts) and to reduce wedding feasts. That is, advising one another in this matter that the mahr should be small, and that the wedding feasts should be small; so that it does not become burdensome for the husband, and so that he is not charged with what prevents him from marrying—may Allah grant success to all.
