Request:
Dear Sheikh Hisham and eshaykh staff asalam-ul-aikum, forgive me if I ask for something wrong. I’m married to my husband since 6 and half years. One day we were talking about men weddings. I know men allowed four wives., but do husband need permission from his first wife to marry second one? Sheikh I love my husband so much that I can’t share him with any other women. After that chat I’m always depressed and got fear in my heart that some day my husband is going to bring another woman. Even though he is telling me he has no intention to do that but my heart is not getting any peace. I know he loves me a lot. Please Sheikh make dua for me and my husband that there is no third person comes in our life till the day of qayama. And my husband to be loyal to me. I love you Sheikh, please forgive me for my lack of adab
Response:
`Alaykum as-Salam,
I will convey your request to Mawlana Shaykh Hisham. When the Holy Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) proposed to Umm Salama, she replied that she was a very jealous woman. The Prophet said: “I will make du`a to Allah so that He removes jealousy from your heart.” As for permission it is not a prerequisite, however, it brings harmony and blessing to secure it.
