Chapter: About (marrying) several women; Saheeh Bukhaari; Vol 7; Hadith Number:5069
Narrated Said Bin Jubair (radiyallaahu-anhu): Ibn Abbaas (radiyallaahu-anhumaa) asked me,’Are you married?’ I replied, ‘No’ He said, ‘Marry, for the best person of this Ummah (i.e. Muhammad) had the largest number of wives.’
Fear Allaah O Muslims And Take Heed Of The Following Advice
Shaikh Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) said:
If a person marries (several women) in order to protect himself from (Zina) and for an increase in numbers of children; then there is no problem in this; but not for the (purpose) ofplaying around.
And Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah stated in Majmoo Al-Fataawaa:
And if the need for divorce is not called for, then the proofs necessitates that it is forbidden as demonstrated by the narrations and the fundamental principles; but Allaah has permitted divorce out of mercy from Himself due to the slaves need of it at times. And He made it forbidden in (certain) places……end of quote
