Authority Is Not Given To the One Who Asks For It or Is Keen To Have It

Narrated Abu Musa (radiyallaahu-anhu): Two men from my tribe and I entered upon the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam). One of the two men said to the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam), ‘’O Allaah’s Messenger! Appoint me as a governor,’ and so did the second. The Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said, ‘’We do not assign the authority of the ruling to those who ask for it, nor those who are keen to have it.’’ [Saheeh Al-Bukhaari, Hadeeth Number 7149]

The Number of Females Who Are Able To Get Married Are More Than Their Male Counterparts

Imaam Ash-Shanqeeti (rahimahullaah) stated:

Women are all readily prepared for marriage (i.e. what a woman needs regarding this affair is a man whom she agrees to marry without any pressure, force or blackmail; who provides for her and lives with her honourably); whereas many men do not have the ability to fulfil the requirements of marriage due to poverty.  (i.e. many men are prevented from marriage due to poverty, whereas there are married men who can provide for more than one woman). Those prepared for marriage amongst men are fewer than those amongst women. A woman is not hindered, whereas a man is hindered by poverty and the ability to fulfil the requirements of marriage (i.e. to provide for his wife). [See Adwaa Al-Bayaan’ Surah Al-Israa’ Ayah 9]

A Great Number of Women Would Have Been Deprived of Marriage In Some Regions of the Earth if Polygyny Did Not Exist

Imaam Ash-Shaqeeti (rahimahullaah) said:

Allaah made it a common phenomenon that men are fewer in number than women in the various regions of the world and are more often exposed to the causes of death in all walks of life.  If a man was restricted to one wife, there would remain a great number of women deprived of marriage, so they (both men and women) will be strongly urged towards illegal sexual intercourse. [See Adwaa al-Bayaan’ Surah Al-Israa Ayah 9]

Some of the evils that results from abandoning polygamy- By Imaam ash-Shanqeeti

Imaam Ash Shaqeeti (rahimahullaah) said:

Turning away from the guidance of the Qur’aan regarding polygyny (i.e. turning away from it based on other the Sharee’ah Reasons that allows a person to refrain from polygamy) is among the greatest causes of moral deprivation. It is (from the greatest causes) of being lowered to the level of animals due to an absence of safeguarding chastity, preserving nobility, good moral conduct and manners. [See Adwaa Al-Bayaan Surah Israa Ayah 9]

Dirty living conditions in some farms – [O Muslims! Fear Allaah Regarding The Rights of Animals]

Wahb Bin Kaysaan said: Ibn Umar saw a shepherd (with his animals) in a repulsive place and he saw (another) place that was (cleaner); so Ibn Umar said: Woe to you O Shepherd! Relocate them, for indeed I heard the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) saying: ”Every shepherd is responsible for its flock.”
