  • It makes perfect sense. Yusuf Estes made it very clear on how a man can have 4 wives. Allah(swt) knows best.

  • islam is spreading fast mr love , and about the 10 years old girl , virgin mary had jesus when she was 12 years old it has much pain yea ? and also she was engaged to a man who was 90 years old , it was common in the past , wake up mr love !!

  • It was also permitted to the old kings of the bible.

  • I am here to clear up Yusuf. The reason multiple wives are permitted is because men were killed during battle. When that happens it leaves a lot of women orphans and widows who can not support themselves. The man can have intercourse with only one wife, but can have three women who have lost their husbands in war. A married man can not help another women unless they are legally bound in marriage. Would you like it if your wife starting helping other men? No, but the law permits it to help women.

  • The Koran actually says: "2 AND 3 AND 4", which would make it 9.

    The Koran was written many centuries ago. In the 21st century we have paternity tests, which were not known at the time of Muhammad.

  • @SirHappyThe1st, It's common sense, if a man has a brain could easily figure this out! Why women cannot have 4 wives, answer's pretty simple; She sleeps with 4 man and gives birth to a baby, can you tell me which one of these men is the father of this baby??? No you wouldn't know. That's the answer!

  • @noronhacandrew that's why 14 people liked my comment, and no one liked yours? YES, YOU ARE THAT DUMB.

  • @SuperMaryam16 What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on youtube is now dumber for reading it. Have a great day and may God have mercy on your poor soul...

  • @YouCantBeThatDumb I hope you are a poe, else, you can be that dumb.

  • @mixerjason this is the dummest comment i have ever seen in a long time.. did any one call you here? Move away!

  • @khader50 Equality means equality. If A can have 4 apples and B can have 1 apple - that is not EQUALITY.

  • The Prophet Muhammad said that a man should have only 4 wives and then went ahead and had over double that amount for himself, why?

    Also, can anyone explain why God would allow a man 4 wives but not give the same option to women of 4 husbands?. Certainly if the idea is to protect women and maintain their chasity this would be the ideal method.

    Why women convert to Islam is a total mystery but i do give Yusuf respect for trying to explain this strange religion of islam.
