It Is Dangerous Marrying One wife As A Muslim, You Need Two & Above – Muslim Scholar

Muslims world wide claim extremist groups such ISIS and Boko Haram do not understand Islam. They claim they carry out their cruel acts due to the ignorance of their leaders. But, it appears the ignorance is not just with the cruel sects. Respected Islamic scholars over the years have preached things which appear to be in contrary with peace and love- which Islam should stand for. Well, let's leave this for another day.

What is shocking is the preaching from Nigeria's respected scholar, Sheik Muyideen Bello, on
marriage. According to popular online personality, J.J Omojuwa, the Sheik said it's wrong for any Muslim to marry one wife. Soon, some fellows will said he doesn't understand the Qu'ran. So who understands the Qu'ran? Or is this man right? If this man is right, then a lot of Muslims who with one wife have not been following Allah's instructions. Below are said to be his.

“Allah said a man should marry any kind of woman he likes. As a man, if you want to marry a fair-complexioned or dark woman, marry her. Allah said we should start from 2 women. I know women will not like to hear this. If you have to marry, start with 2 women, that is what the Quran says. The Yorubas have a saying that a man with 1 woman isn’t a real man. For instance if you are
married to 1 wife and she over-salts your food, you have just 1 wife. You don’t have a choice than to eat the food or buy food outside.

“I have received so many messages from people that why should I encourage polygamy. I tell them, is it me encouraging polygamy? Allah said you should marry 2, 3, 4. Allah said if as a man you know you can’t take care of them, then marry 1. Then if you are a me&my wife kind of man, the implications are too many. As Muslims, 4 women is the maximum a man can have, have 2 living with you then if you have 2 houses outside, you put the other 2 there. The implications in marrying just 1 wife are too many.
