Apa hikmah Islam membenarkan poligami?

Poligami dibenarkan sebagai jalan keluar yang halal dan bertanggungjawab dalam keadaan tertentu, bukan sebagai galakan untuk semua. Antara hikmah yang disebut oleh para ulama: melindungi janda dan anak yatim (sesuai dengan konteks Surah an-Nisa' ayat 3), memberi alternatif halal kepada perceraian apabila isteri sakit berpanjangan atau tidak dapat zuriat, menjaga lelaki daripada zina, dan memberi hak penuh kepada wanita yang dikahwini sebagai isteri sah berbanding hubungan haram tanpa sebarang hak. Hikmah ini hanya terzahir apabila syarat adil, nafkah dan niat yang betul dipenuhi. Tanpanya, poligami boleh menjadi punca kezaliman. Lihat Hikmah & kritikan dan FAQ .

What is the wisdom behind Islam permitting polygyny?

Polygyny is permitted as a lawful and responsible solution in certain circumstances, not as an encouragement for everyone.
Among the wisdoms mentioned by scholars: protecting widows and orphans (in keeping with the context of Surah an-Nisa' verse 3), offering a lawful alternative to divorce when a wife is chronically ill or cannot have children, protecting men from zina, and giving the woman who is married full rights as a lawful wife rather than an unlawful relationship with no rights at all. These wisdoms appear only when the conditions of justice, maintenance and a right intention are met. Without them, polygyny can become a source of injustice. See Wisdom & criticism and FAQ.
