There is no doubt that Islamic law permits Polygyny. Wise people know that increasing the number of offspring will strengthen the ummah and increase the number of workers in it, which will raise its economic standard – if the leaders run the affairs of the state well and make use of its resources in a proper manner. Ignore the claims of those who say that increasing the numbers of human beings poses a danger to the earth’s resources which are insufficient, for Allah (the Most Wise Who) has prescribed plural marriage has guaranteed to provide provision for His slaves and has created on earth what is more than sufficient for them.
A Muslim woman named Fatima Yusuf Nuhu shares a social media message on December 2, 2023, in which she expresses her complete acceptance of her husband’s new partner.
Her post reads: “Today, on the 2nd of December 2023, my beloved husband expanded our family by taking a second wife.
“After two decades of marriage, I discovered that my husband had married my former student, a revelation that came to light just a week before the wedding. While this could have been shocking, I commend my husband for his openness.
“It’s noteworthy that my former student, now my husband’s second wife, has found genuine love. As a mother, witnessing one’s daughter marry a responsible man fulfils the dreams and prayers we hold close.
Fatima also confidently shared her husband’s wedding invitation online. “Understanding this as a mother also has granted me inner peace, and despite potential external criticism, I confidently shared my husband’s wedding invitation on my social media platforms.”
“Given the considerable number of unmarried women today and the societal shifts we experience, I find it fitting to open our home and my husband’s heart to another woman.
“Through this message, I aim to advocate and encourage women to support their husbands who choose to marry more than once.
“Henceforth, my daughter is willing to embrace any role—be it first, second, third, or fourth wife—knowing her mother respects and accepts her father’s decision to add more wives.
“Congratulations to the bride, and I look forward to a harmonious life together with our husband,” she concludes.
