Dear Muslims,
It is not permissible for a muslim to openly or privately declare hatred for polygyny, because polygyny is something Allah has made lawful in Islam. While it is understandable that many first wives may struggle emotionally with their husbands taking another wife, a muslim must be careful not to condemn what Allah has permitted.
At the same time, Islam recognises human emotions and personal limits.
Can a muslim man choose not to practice polygyny? Yes.
Can a muslim woman prefer monogamy and not want her husband to take another wife? Yes.
Can a muslim woman refuse to marry a man who openly intends to practice polygyny? Yes.
Can a wife seek divorce if polygyny is severely affecting her emotionally or mentally? According to some scholars, yes.
Even the wives of the Prophet ο·Ί who are the best of women experienced jealousy among themselves, to the extent that Allah revealed verses addressing some of those situations.
So feeling hurt, jealous, or emotionally overwhelmed is part of human nature and should not automatically be condemned.
However, there is a difference between struggling with something emotionally and declaring hatred for what Allah has made halal.
As muslims, we should not:
β’ Hate polygyny, it is a ruling from Allah.
β’ Hate fellow muslims simply because they practice polygyny.
β’ Speak badly about muslims solely because they choose what Islam has made permissible.
No muslim, dead or alive, has the authority to declare forbidden or hateful what Allah has made lawful and permissible.
We should be careful as muslims, not to fall in error of hating what Allah made lawful, just because our emotions are up.
Lastly, this post is directed to muslims alone.
