The ruling regarding polygyny for the sake of pleasure
Questioner: “As soon as a man earns more money, he thinks of polygyny. His intention is not establishing a family, rather only for pleasure.”
Shaykh al-Albaanee: “That’s good, that’s good, that’s good.”
(everyone laughs)
Questioner: “So he doesn’t fall into anything?”
Shaykh: “You mean, that he falls into something forbidden? His intention is permissible and he does not fall into any prohibition. However, we tell him to add a recommended factor to this permissible action. Namely by increasing the Ummah of Muhammad (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wassallam), and that he increases his reward with his Lord, for the upbringing of his progeny and offspring.”
Shaykh Muhammad Naasiruddeen al-Albaanee, may Allah have mercy on him
