Polygyny is not the only Sunnah!

Question: A topic was raised in the fatwa box about polygyny that has received much negative prayers from women because they dislike polygyny.

Sheikh Abdulhamid Az-Zu'kari ḥafidhahullāh responds:

Undoubtedly, this topic brings sadness and distress to women, and then they are expected to pray and say after hearing someone encouraging it, saying: "O married men, you should marry a second, third, and fourth wife," they are expected to say, "May Allah reward you well (for such encouraging words)"?! Rather, they might say, "May Allah not grant you good; morning or evening. May Allah not bless you for such advice. Have you found no other Sunnah but this matter [to encourage with]?! Call them to Tawheed, command them with pray, command them to fast, and command them to obey Allah Almighty. Nonetheless, one must be patient; if the advice aligns with the Book and the Sunnah, then a person should be patient. Some of our brothers, may Allah guide them, have recently created channels and WhatsApp groups for this purpose. Consequently, some women have responded with lengthy refutations, questioning their sincerity and noting that they seem to focus only on this issue from the entire religion.

Therefore, brothers, this matter requires a balanced approach, without excess or negligence. We do not forbid those who wish to marry a second, third, or fourth wife as permitted by Allah Almighty, nor do we excessively discuss this matter to the point of distressing women.

Our Sheikh Muqbil, may Allah have mercy on him, used to say: "If a man wants to marry, let him marry, but do not constantly tell her, 'I will marry another wife, I will bring someone better than you, I will do this and that.'" This kind of talk brings sorrow and sadness to her.

Once, some noble individuals came here and said, "I will give a lecture on polygyny." We said, "Brother, give a lecture on the etiquettes of marriage or preparation for marriage, and if you want to touch on the topic of polygyny within that context, then fine. But a specific lecture on polygyny may not be needed and could cause distress to women and aversion to this practice."

Nevertheless, we do not forbid what Allah has permitted, nor do we overly stress this matter. Allah mentioned it in one instance:
{فانكحوا ما طاب لكم من النساء مثنى وثلاث ورباع}
"Then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four." And He ﷻ added:
{فإن خفتم ألا تعدلوا فواحدة أو ما ملكت أيمانكم ذلك أدنى ألا تعولوا}
"But if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] one or those your right hand possesses. That is more suitable that you may not incline [to injustice]."

So everything should be taken in its proper context.

Question:
WHAT MONTH ARE WE IN?

Answer:
DHUL QI‘DAH.

Tayyib, so what's the big deal?

The big deal is, Allāh ﷻ said:

(إِنَّ عِدَّةَ ٱلشُّهُورِ عِندَ اللهِ ٱثۡنَا عَشَرَ شَهۡرࣰا فِی كِتَـٰبِ اللهِ یَوۡمَ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰ⁠تِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ مِنۡهَاۤ أَرۡبَعَةٌ حُرُمࣱۚ ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ ٱلدِّینُ ٱلۡقَیِّمُۚ فَلَا تَظۡلِمُوا۟ فِیهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُمۡ...}

“Indeed, the number of months ordained by Allah is twelve—in Allah’s Record since the day He created the heavens and the earth—OF WHICH FOUR ARE SACRED. That is the Right Way. So do not wrong one another during these months.”
[Sūrah At-Tawbah 36]

The 12 months are:
1. Muḥarram (مُحَرَّم)
2. Ṣafar (صَفَر)
3. Rabī‘ Al-Awwal (ُرَبِيعُ ٱلْأَوَّل)
4. Rabī‘ Ath-Thānī (رَبِيعُ الثَّانِي)
5. Jumāda Al-Awwal (جُمَادَى الْأَوَّلُ)
6. Jumāda Ath-Thānī (جُمَادَى الثَّانِي)
7. Rajab (رَجَب)
8. Sha‘bān (شَعْبَان)
9. Ramḍhān (رَمَضَان)
10. Shawwāl (شَوَّال)
11. Dhul Qi‘dah (ذُو الْقِعْدَة)
12. Dhul. Ḥijjah (ذُو الْحِجَّة)

The four sacred months are:
1️⃣ Muḥarram
2️⃣ Rajab
3⃣ Dhul Qi‘dah
4️⃣ Dhul Ḥijjah

We're currently in the sacred month of Dhul qi'dah yet many of us are clueless.

Ibn ‘Abbās raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhu said: “He (ﷻ) singled out four months from them and made them sacred. He magnified their sanctity and made sins in them more severe and righteous deeds and the reward for them greater.” [Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr]

So beware of wronging one another during these coming months!

"Dr. Sa'eed Al-Kamali is not known for Salafiyyah"...that's basically what Sheikh 'Abdulhameed is alluding to; which is a fair and honest response for someone who is unaware of this man's true condition.

However, if we brush off the surface and dig a little deeper, we find some serious issues which should make us cautious of this man.

Let's give some examples:

1⃣. There's a clip where he speaks about one of the Attributes of Allah, but rather than clarifying the correct creed with relation to this Attribute, he relays the different opinions as though he is discussing an issue of Fiqh, leaving the listener under the impression that it's okay to differ in such issues of Aqeedah.

• Sheikh Salih As-Suhaimi hafidhahullah has refuted him for this. (you can find this online)

2⃣. He endorses celebrating the Prophet's birthday through both speech and action.

3⃣. His teachers include some of the well known innovators of our time, the likes of Ahmad ibn As-Siddeeq Al-Ghimari and Muhammad Hassan Walad Ad-Dadoo, and he also praises such individuals.

4⃣. On his visit to Saudi Arabia, he sat with the major figureheads of Hizbiyyah.

5⃣. He hardly calls to Salafiyyah, nor does he warn against Shirk and innovation, though he resides in a land that is filled with Shirk and innovation.

So we must be wary of whom we take our knowledge from, as Imam Muslim narrated in the introduction of his saheeh on the authority of Muhammad ibn Seereen that he said: “This knowledge is religion, so look from whom you take your religion.”

Sheikh Yusuf Al-Jazairi hafidhahullah said:

This man (dr. Sa'eed Al-Kamali) conceals himself with the (dressing of) Sunnah and teaches some of the texts of the Sunnah, while he is not one of its people. This is what has led many of those who lack knowledge to become deceived by him, meanwhile he attends Mawlid with the Sufis and says that it's permissible to celebrate birthdays, he defends Ikhwan Al-Muslimoon and attends their senior councils and seminars, and other misguidances.

It's obligatory that people are cautious of him and his Fitnah, and for the students of knowledge to warn against his deception and falsehood (in accordance with the statement of Allah)

{وَكَذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلۡـَٔایَـٰتِ وَلِتَسۡتَبِینَ سَبِیلُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِینَ}

“And thus do We explain the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) in detail, that the way of the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists, sinners), may become manifest.” [Surah Al-Anʿām: 55]

How is it then possible for a Daa'ee who ascribes to Salafiyyah to come out in public and shower praise on this individual and promote him to his audience as though he is a role model who should be looked upto??

Where are the great giants of this era? The likes of ibn Baz, Uthaymeen, Albani, Al-Wadi'ee; rahmatullahi alayhim. Where are the Fawzans, the AbdulMuhsin Abbads, the Aal Ash-Sheikhs...?

When you have influence on people, you have to be extra careful what you say and do; because you, in their eyes, are a representation of the Sunnah, and just as you earn good deeds from directing others to good, you will also be responsible for leading them astray.

{لِیَحۡمِلُوۤا۟ أَوۡزَارَهُمۡ كَامِلَةࣰ یَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِ وَمِنۡ أَوۡزَارِ ٱلَّذِینَ یُضِلُّونَهُم بِغَیۡرِ عِلۡمٍۗ أَلَا سَاۤءَ مَا یَزِرُونَ}

“On the Day of Resurrection they will bear the full weight of their own burden, as well as some of the burden of those they misled with no true knowledge. How terrible their burden will be!” [Surah An-Naḥl: 25]
