Adakah perlu mohon semula untuk isteri ketiga atau keempat?

Ya, setiap kali lelaki yang sudah beristeri ingin berkahwin lagi, dia perlu memohon kebenaran Mahkamah Syariah yang baharu. Kebenaran untuk isteri kedua tidak meliputi perkahwinan seterusnya. Bagi permohonan isteri ketiga atau keempat, semua isteri sedia ada akan dipanggil. Mahkamah akan menilai semula kemampuan kewangan dan keadilan dengan mengambil kira semua rumah tangga yang ada. Lazimnya, semakin ramai tanggungan, semakin tinggi beban bukti. Had maksimum ialah empat isteri pada satu masa; perkahwinan kelima tidak sah selagi empat isteri masih dalam ikatan atau idah talak raj'i. Lihat fiqh poligami dan prosedur poligami .

Must I apply again for a third or fourth wife?

Yes, every time a married man wishes to marry again, he must apply for fresh Syariah Court permission. Permission for a second wife does not cover later marriages. For an application for a third or fourth wife, all the existing wives will be summoned. The court will reassess financial means and justice, taking all existing households into account. As a rule, the more dependants there are, the heavier the burden of proof. The maximum is four wives at one time; a fifth marriage is invalid while four wives are still married to him or in the ʿiddah of a revocable talaq (raj'i). See fiqh of polygyny and polygyny procedure.

Difference among the schools. The Shafi'i and Maliki schools permit a new marriage after an irrevocable talaq (ba'in) even while the former wife is still in ʿiddah; the Hanafi and Hanbali schools forbid it until the ʿiddah ends.
