Re: Men who are not against polygamy [merged]
I am sorry but it is very dffcult to explain further to you, since instead of reading the verses word by word and side by side and trying to get the meaning you keep jumping to your own conclusion.
Moreover, there is no comparison that can be made between talaq scenario/intoxicants and polygamy.
Nutwer made two comments which still need correction.
1- Religiously sanctioned Ayashi, is not correct term. If that is true then those who say marriage is form of legalized prostitution will also be correct.
We just need to separate ayashi from obtaining sex and companionship through legit means.
Please remember, sex is not prohbited in Islam and as it is not a sinful act. Ayashi (being a player) is not allowed in Islam.
2- “Slaves had no rights”. …Not true.
Slaves were not even supposed to be called slaves and many many examples can be cited where rights of slaves were sanctioned and even marrying them was advised. Men or women.
If any of you have not the means wherewith to wed free believing women, they may wed believing girls from among those whom your right hands possess: And Allah hath full knowledge about your faith. Ye are one from another: Wed them with the leave of their owners, and give them their dowers, according to what is reasonable. – [Quran 4:25]
Do not marry unbelieving women (idolaters), until they believe: A slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman, even though she allures you. Nor marry (your girls) to unbelievers until they believe: A man slave who believes is better than an unbeliever, even though he allures you. Unbelievers do (but) beckon you to the Fire. But Allah beckons by His Grace to the Garden (of bliss) and forgiveness, and makes His Signs clear to mankind: That they may celebrate His praise. – [Quran 2:221]
The thread is not about slaves so lets put this to rest for now. It was good trolling move.
