Islam . Polygamy . Man . Wife . Marriage

How does Islam allow polygamy when it will be difficult for a man to convince his first wife to allow him to marry a second?

as salam alaikum

it is not difficult for all men to convince their wives to have another wife and it is not difficult for all wives to accept an husband with more than one wife. Also, it is not necessary for all men to have more than one wife and in many cases it may be detrimental for them. People differs and sometimes there are situations that call for specific choices. For example the Qur'an says: "And if you fear that you will not be able to to justice to the orphan girls, then marry of women as may be agreeable to you two or three or four, but if you fear that you will not be able to deal equitably then one" (4:3).

With prayers for your success.

Man . Wife . Gender

How is it fair that a man can leave the house without telling his wife but she has to take permission from him? How does this prove equality or anything but inferiority and ownership?

Bismillah

Thank you for your question. Islam has stressed the equality of men and women when it comes to their relationship with God. Their actions and attitudes are their own and they will be recompensed with justice and mercy. When it comes to some of the rulings on a sociological level, while they may not be the same for a man and woman, that doesn't affect their equality in front of God and certainly doesn't indicate inferiority as the Qur'an has clearly defined the benchmark of superiority being that of God-consciousness. There is also no ownership as the woman is a free woman and is responsible in front of God. It is her choice to follow these rules in her obedience to God, and for that she achieves the spiritual progression which is the benchmark of excellence.

At the same time, there is much discussion on the rulings related to women and the paradigms that have been used throughout our intellectual history to determine the rulings in different epochs. While that discussion has not resulted in a change of view of many scholars in regards to the specific ruling in your question, research is continually being made to apply our understanding of Islamic law in each time and the concern that you have raised is one that is taken seriously in intellectual circles, bearing in mind the changing roles of women in the modern world.

May you always be successful

Woman . Man . Gender Segregation

Why should women have to chart out their entire lives and restrict themselves from so many things to prevent accidentally attracting other men when it is not their fault how God made their bodies and how men get attracted to them?

Woman is granted the high human dignity just like man or even more if her piousness is more than him. There is no question of restriction which disturb her life, but discipline which keeps her safe and respected and keeps the man safe and pious. The Islamic life aims to keep the female as respected and honored as the noble man.

Man . Woman . Engagement

I am an unmarried man who is about to be engaged to a woman who had a bad past, but who has fully reformed. However, the idea of her past haunts me. How can I deal with it?

Bismillah

Thank you for your question. A person cannot be separated from their past. Indeed, we learn from our past experiences and the lessons shape our attitudes to the future. Your future wife would not be the way she is now without the experiences of her past, and if you wish to have her as a partner you have to accept and be comfortable with that. It is not something you can force on yourself, but a decision you have to consciously make and be comfortable with. If you are not comfortable with it you have to address it, as in marriage there are many challenges and if this is always going to be a point of tension, it will damage the future of the relationship.

Narrations . Woman . Man

Why do there seem to be so many narrations about women obeying men?

We also have in our books so many narrations teaching the man to be just, kind and nice to his wife and children.

One Hadeeth says: Best of you is the best treating his wife خيركم خيركم لأهله.

Islam guides both men and women to be good to each other to build a life of mutual respect and harmony overwhelmed with love and sympathy.

Women are required to obey their husbands when the husband does not go against Allah (SWT). Man can not behave as a dictator just because he is a man but must keep the justice when dealing with any one and sympathy when dealing with his wife and children.

Man . Necklace

Is it allowed for a man to wear a necklace when he is not trying to imitate women?

Man is not allowed to wear women dress or items, as woman is also not allowed to wear dress or items of men.

It is not enough that his intention is not intimate women, but the society should not see him as wearing or looking like a woman.
