In this short treatise, al-Allamah Ahmad Shakir vigorously defends one of the most maligned and misunderstood matters in the religion: plural marriage. Relying on verses from the Qur’an, traditions from the authentic Sunnah, and accounts of the Companions, the Shaykh refutes several doubts about polygamy and establishes the goodness of this noble practice.

“Indeed, anyone who tries to prohibit plural marriage, prevent it, or restrict it with something not found in the Book or the Sunnah has merely invented a lie against Allah. Every person is accountable for himself. So, let every person be mindful of what he asserts and rejects.” – Al-Allamah Ahmad Shakir
