Collection of Treatises & Fatawa on Fiqh of Polygyny, Marital Conduct & Fair Treatment in Polygyny
By Shaykh 'Abdul 'Aziz ibn Baz, Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-'Uthaymeen, Shaykh Dr. 'Abdullah at-Tayyar, Shaykh 'Ubayd al-Jabiri, Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ghalib al-'Umari & others

Polygyny is permitted in the Qur'an in Surah an-Nisa', yet it is one of the most misunderstood areas of family law — by those who reject it outright and by those who practice it without fulfilling its conditions. This collection brings together treatises and fatawa from senior scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah to set out what the Shari'ah actually requires.

The scholars address the evidences for polygyny and the refutation of those who deny it, the condition of fairness between wives and what that fairness includes, the financial ability required before taking another wife, how time, housing, and maintenance are divided, and the conduct expected of the husband and the wives toward one another. Practical questions that arise in real households are answered directly, with evidence.

An essential reference for any man considering polygyny, for wives in polygynous marriages, and for students studying the fiqh of marriage.
