By Asma Bint Shameem
A man does not need his wife’s permission to marry another woman.
Shaikh Ibn Uthaymeen said:
“The wife’s approval is not a condition for plural marriage, and it is not obligatory for the husband to have the approval of his first wife if he wants to marry a second wife.
But it is good manners and kind treatment to approach the issue in such a way as to reduce the pain which women naturally feel in such cases, by smiling at her, greeting her warmly, speaking nicely to her and spending money on her according to his means, in order to gain her approval.”
(Fataawa Islamiyyah, 3/204)
And Allaah knows best
