What is the ruling of the Ulama e Deen in the following cases?nnZaid questions that, Almighty Allah has permitted a man to marryntwo, three or four wives, so why have women not been permitted tonmarry two, three or four (men)?nnWhat is the Shariah ruling concerning a person who asks such a question?nnThe Ruling:nnAlmighty Allah says,nn?Undoubtedly, Allah does not command indecency (immodesty)?nnSurah Al A?raf (7), Verse 28nnFor two men to be collectively with one woman is explicit immodesty.nnLeave alone humans, even the worst amongst the animals.nni.e. the swine does not tolerate this.nnThe wisdom behind the forbiddance of adultery is to preserve one?s lineage, or else one will not know whom the child belongs to (i.e. who the father is).nnIf it were permissible for two men to be in one woman?s Nikah (at the same time), then the same harm and blemish which is found in adultery will be found here.nn(In this case) it will not be confirmed as to whom of the two, is the father of the child.nn(i.e. the paternity of the child will be disputed).nn[And Allah Almighty Knows Best]nnTo ask such a question is to be clearly astray.nnIf Zaid is not an absolute ignorant and disrespectable person, then he is an irreligious person; and if he is not an irreligious person, then he is an absolutely ignorant, and disrespectable person.nn[And Allah Almighty Knows Best]nnnName of Book: Fatawa AfricanAuthor: Aala Hazrat Imam Ahmed Raza KhannTranslator: Muhammad Afthab Cassim Qadiri Razvi Noori
