  • Man Married To More Than 4 Woman!

    Posted by Mohammed Qasim on March 26, 2025 at 8:10 am

    Is there a limit to the number of women a man can be married to? The limit of four marriages seems situational. As Ghamidi Sahab mentioned in the video below, the number of women a man can marry is not a primary subject of Islam, nor is it explicitly discussed as a permanent ruling. According to him, Allah has not imposed a general restriction on the number of marriages, and the instruction to marry up to four women was given in a specific context.

    Therefore, it seems that although it is advisable and preferable to marry only one woman, marrying up to four women is permissible. However, it also appears that marrying more than four women may not necessarily be considered haram and there is no limit to the number of woman a man can be married to.


    It could be subject to further ethical and practical considerations but there is no limit.

    There is a misunderstanding. Ghamidi saheb has made it clear that the maximum number to marry women at a time are 4.

    He writes in his tafseer

    یتیموں کے حقوق جیسی مصلحت کے لیے بھی عورتوں کی تعداد کسی شخص کے نکاح میں چار سے زیادہ نہیں ہونی چاہیے
