Egyptian Cleric Masoud Anwar Justifies Polygamy: Some Women's Period Lasts for 15 Days, Some Women Grow Old and Abstain from Sex

Following are excerpts from an address by Egyptian cleric Sheik Masoud Anwar, which aired on Al-Rahma TV on March 13, 2009.

Sheik Masoud Anwar: Some Arab governments [have decided] to forbid polygamy. Take Turkey, for example look what happened there, at the hand of that idol, Ataturk. In 1926, Ataturk issued several diabolical decrees: first, the abolishment of the Islamic hijab, second, the prevention and criminalization of polygamy, third, he abolished the hijra calendar, fourth, he ordered the use of the Gregorian calendar, and fifth, he declared the weekly day of rest throughout Islamic Turkey to be Sunday, rather than Friday.

Turkey... This is Egypt, not Turkey. We are the country of Al-Azhar, of knowledge.

[...]

In Tunisia, they banned and criminalized polygamy. A man is allowed to be intimate and fornicate on one condition: that his lover agrees to this. Thats in Tunisia. But if hes caught in the crime of marriage to another woman he is sent to prison. In God we place our trust. If a man is caught with his lover, and it was with her consent, they say: Forgive us, sir. We have freedom. But if he says: This is my second wife there is hell to pay.




[...]

Lets take a barren woman, who cannot have children, and her husband longs for a child. What is he to do? Must he divorce her because of the law that criminalizes polygamy? Must he divorce her, throw her out on the street? What if shes a good woman? What if shes an orphan? What if she has no other place to stay? What should he do? Are we to deny him the happiness of having a child? Whats a guy to do? Should he take a child from a shelter and raise him, even though he is able to father a child of his own seed? Isnt it better that he marry another wife, as long as he treats them equally?

[...]

Lets take a woman who is afflicted with an illness that prevents her from fulfilling the marital rights. What is her husband to do? Should he suffer and be deprived, in times of many temptations, which arouse desires? Or should he fall prey to sin, God forbid? Or maybe he should marry a second wife, who will preserve his honor. Which solution is better? You tell me. Lets take a man whose wife has grown old and abstains from sex. There are such women. It is well known that mens fertility is greater than that of women, and so is their appetite. What should we do with such a man? Slaughter him?! Thats how God created him.

[...]

Sometimes, a woman cannot fulfill her marital obligations, for reasons beyond her control, such as menstruation or the postpartum period of abstinence. There are women whose period lasts for 15 days and more, and her husband cant wait that long. So what are we to do with him? He has financial means, he has money, he is healthy let him get married, brother. Are we supposed to forbid him what Allah has permitted?

A man may want to marry a second or third wife in order to spread his seed. Brother, I have money. Id like to have 30 children of my own seed, and I will raise them properly. Whos to stop me?

[...]

Can we blame a man in the prime of life, at the height of his virility, if he is not satisfied with one woman? Whats wrong with that? We live in times of lesser masculinity, in times of pills that are meant to raise manhood, and yet you complain about a man at the height of virility? Its a good thing.

  • MashaAllah. thank you brother for that wonderful and perfectly logical speech. the western culture is very hypocritical. but then again...who cares???

  • I'm half with him and half against him.

  • @azadam1000 truthfully in my opinion if the guy has the money and can provide for all the wives and the kids without having them live poorly than go ahead.

  • @PorkChopMissPiggy quran says mary on if you are not able quran is only book is saying mary then 1. In the united states there are about 10 million more women then man , to whom should they mary then? or do they become public property or lesbian? and this counts for the world more women then men , more boys are dying in labour then girls . Islam is just logical

  • Any man who chooses to marry many wives is a sucker. Sure it'll be fun for the first year but after that you'll just have 4 normal wives. That man is going to have to work like a horse to support all the kids from all 4 wives. LOL I cannot imagine his hydro bill, gro, household, clothes, the size of the house he must buy to house all those kids and the wives. Plus the constant fighting amongst his wives, the talking that women do. LOL LOL LOL I say go ahead and marry 4 women. Good luck

  • what an ugly beard,an ugly man and pathetic speech.

  • That's not true bro, i never betrayed my girlfriends and never will, only jerks do that, not the majority...

  • ANOTHER JACKOFF

  • Since when is it "well known that men´s fertility is greater than women´s"?

    If it is "well known" to you that men´s appetite is greater than women´s isn´t it time to start wonder what you do wrong since your wife doesn´t have an appetite for you?

    This man is just unbelievably pathetic.

  • If I had to marry such a horrible man like this I would also have my "period" for 15 days. In fact I would constantly have my period. If I however for real would have my period for 15 days I would seek medical help to investigate why and to stop the bleeding.

    If I would have to marry such a man I would also want polygamy so that I could also have one man I could be happy with.

    And if my husband was infertile it would perhaps also be a good idea with polygamy? What´s a woman to do?!
