Apakah hukum poligami dalam Islam?

Hukum asal poligami ialah harus (dibenarkan), bukan wajib, dengan syarat lelaki itu mampu berlaku adil dan menanggung nafkah. Dalilnya firman Allah dalam Surah an-Nisa' ayat 3: kahwinilah wanita yang kamu sukai, dua, tiga atau empat; tetapi jika kamu takut tidak berlaku adil, maka seorang sahaja. Ayat yang sama mengaitkan keizinan itu dengan keadilan, jadi poligami bukan hak mutlak tanpa syarat. Para ulama menjelaskan hukumnya boleh berubah mengikut keadaan individu: ia menjadi haram bagi lelaki yang yakin dirinya akan zalim atau tidak mampu memberi nafkah. Di Malaysia, selain syarat syarak, poligami juga tertakluk kepada kebenaran Mahkamah Syariah. Lihat Hukum poligami dan Fiqh poligami .

What is the ruling on polygyny in Islam?

The basic ruling on polygyny is that it is permissible (harus), not obligatory, on condition that the man is able to be just and to provide maintenance.
The evidence is Allah's word in Surah an-Nisa' verse 3: marry the women who please you, two, three or four; but if you fear you will not be just, then only one. The same verse ties the permission to justice, so polygyny is not an absolute, unconditional right. Scholars explain that the ruling can change according to the individual's circumstances: it becomes forbidden for a man who is certain he will act unjustly or cannot provide maintenance. In Malaysia, besides the Shariah conditions, polygyny is also subject to the permission of the Syariah Court. See Ruling on polygyny and Fiqh of polygyny.
