I think is less than a million Or or over a million, but yeah, it's way nicer than a child the child's like some random city or not random area in Karabara It's not nice, but you know if everyone wants to live a happy life Go and visit Finland Denmark or Norway, but let's go jump in the woods today's topic. You guys ready for this? Let's go Now if you're a single man Before I do that let's say salamun aleykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh shalom kum once again that means how are you doing? But tonight's topic if you're single Um, I suggest that you know you keep watching, but it's not the right topic for you because You're about to know but you know you need to go get married first But tune in to find out some tips that after you get married what you what you should do You know go find a wife enjoy your life And inshallah you find that beautiful and of course religious wife at the same time, but For my married man you guys ready tonight's topic is for you guys in for a treat Now it's customary. You will know that's customary on the world To to to get married To procreate and to find that suitable wife for you And you know, you got to be ready You need to be matured Physically and mentally at the same time You know fall in love love at first sight and all these fairy tales, you know live a A happy ever after life You know some some you know beauty and the beast type of stuff, but anyways now We all know that and you probably all see people marrying more than one wife You know, we always hear of people particularly Muslims marrying a second a third And sometimes you even find a fourth wife Um, but listen to this Now Araki mp Now this lady Jamila Has encouraged men to polygamous marriages by granting them monetary rewards and other benefits as well Now from the video I see in this later right here. She encourages men. I think she's a widower or divorcee, but I know I'm probably looking for a man to get married to but anyways She she says she's she's willing to give a piece of land or a house And a monthly income for the guy that marries more than one wife And depending on on you know, the number of wives you get to have a lot of money, you know me at the house Now You guys know why I came to Iraq. Why not? I'm kidding. I'm kidding But it's Iraq is the best destination if you're voting for her It's election time now any of you voting for the best destination what goes up the prices of airlines. Anyways, uh, now supporters of polygamy um, but We should always look at this now apparently Muslims Need more than one wife, you know, because that this starts from be hitting the roof But no, I'm kidding. But no, seriously, uh, there are reasons for multiple marriages. Sometimes it's infertility or avoiding adultery As we'll get to talk about what the reasons are But supporters of polygamy Claim that it already exists in many countries and it should be illegal in the west I'm telling you you guys are in for a treat the u.s constitution for example promises Liberty for all its citizens And you know within its reach liberty That includes certain specific rights that allow the people to define and express their identity The 14th amendment guarantees the right of marriage to all its citizens On the other hand, we have people who claim that polygamy is an outdated Phenomena an outdated concept that was used purely for reproduction because back then the lifespan was only 40 years old Now according to them, there's no excuse nowadays for polygamy and polygamous marriages Because you know light now we have 7 billion people around the world and you know The lifespan is a lot higher to 80 years Over 80 years sometimes they say and then you know now medicine is allowing women to Have children over the age of 40 Now they're saying that the ancient need for procreation No longer exists. I don't know if I agree with that But you know we'll get to see but this brings us tonight's question. You guys ready Should polygamy be accepted? What do you guys think? I'm not gonna say what do I think? Because we don't want to get into different ways, but you know should polygamy be accepted We all know that polygamy in the region of Islam is permissible But should it be accepted in western societies? Is it normal for you to have two three or four wives? Let us know on hashtag lnt because the number is showing up right now They tell you guys what to call it's plus nine six four seven seven four. Oh 67 18 36 But to let us know what you guys think And you know if If you guys do consider marriage, you know the lines are now open Just to let you guys know To tell us what you guys think about tonight's question. Let me repeat tonight's question Should polygamy be accepted? Now, you know If you if you are married and you're trying to call, you know, you're going to the bathroom You know you're going to the garage or you're leaving the house So you don't have to see you don't want to you want your wife to hear you You know, you can always call us, you know, and your name won't be disclosed Trust me when I say that I will make up a name for you But yeah In a fake country But your voice if your if your wife is watching then she's gonna know your voice But anyways, uh, do let us know because tonight's question is should polygamy be accepted Don't be afraid of you wires, man. Just call in and let me know Anyways, we'll go to a very short break and we'll be back versus. I mean, I talked a lot Let me just get a drink of water back very short Yeah, I'm still trying to open this water but you know Welcome back But yeah, I mean, we are getting a few phone calls in Let's hope, you know, but I want to say this before we actually get to See if women call or men call I'll give you a prediction from right now if a woman's gonna call she's gonna say, oh my god I don't want my man marrying another woman You know, I want my man off of myself, you know selfish ladies. Come on, you know But you know, I'm kidding. Uh, but you know and then men are gonna call saying Assalamu alaikum brother. Tonight's topic is very interesting. I would like to get married again. All that good stuff, but According to many polygamy is a phenomenon that has Existed for centuries now For thousands of years in different cultures Cultures and countries around the world now islam did not invent This phenomenon or this concept It actually it it started before islam or existed before islam If if you were to to look at genesis chapter 4 verse 19 Lamak Who was the grandson of adam? He was married to two wives now I quote from genesis chapter 4 verse 19. You can go check that out. It's pretty famous Now the grandson of adam took on himself two wives the name of one was Ada and the other name And the other name's wife was zilla These are pretty sick names, but I would never name my daughters like that Anyways, so this guy the grandson of adam was married to two wives. So christianity. It's allowed because in the bible it says that the grandson Of adam got married to two wives anyways however Islam has corrected and set various laws In the concept of polygamy The principle that that was permitted But polygamy was limited to only four wives because because before islam People got married to more than what more than actually more than four wives, but after islam We also saw the the the prophet as we'll get to talk about and the imam is marrying more Than actually four wives, but are they special? You know, are they special regardless of the people? But anyways, we'll get to talk about even more Now besides from religion and we do remind viewers to call in And send messages or voice notes To the show at the same number. Let's get the number back on on the screen. It's plus nine six four zero six seven 18 36 that's plus nine six four and Plus nine six four seven seven four Oh six seven 18 36 If you guys didn't hear me. I paused to drink some water. I put that on purpose just to drink some water, but anyways Yeah, so uh now aside from uh, you know religion because that's not our main focus for tonight Tonight we're trying to see or you know find out your opinion Should polygamy be accepted Should it be accepted pick up the phone? dial that number and give me a call Because right now right now Right now pick up the phone Throw out your falafel sandwich or shawarma sandwich because I know your heirs you love that falafel I love that shawarma and your grilled chicken and your biryanis and stuff You know and and your hummus botchanas So yeah, put that down and you know pick up the phone and call the show right now and let us know what what We do have a text message from Jamal from the kingdom of sad arabia now We know that women are you know, we don't want to get there. Yeah, but anyways jamal from ksa sad arabia He says polygamy is accepted In muslim countries, but not in western countries I live in jeddah sad arabia and people here have three four wives. It's normal, but when I travel abroad No one even thinks of this Anyways, thank you very much jamal uh from ksa from sad arabia for letting us know You know honestly one time I was reading You know not not saying that you know muslims do that, but you know crazy people that I don't know if they've understood religion wrong But these guys they one of them got married to 53 wives 40 of them were virgins, but anyways, uh, so yeah, this guy was made to 53 wives Anyways, so as I was saying You guys should pick up the phone right now and down the number shown below To participate in tonight's show because I really need you guys You know, I need to find out what you guys think about uh tonight's topic and tonight's question Which is should polygamy be accepted for my married men. Do you want to marry another wife? Let me know if you do Maybe an a lot was a few that we can hook you up with now. I'm kidding You know, we know we're gonna we're not trying to you know hook anyone up, but the west claims that uh that Many of uh women's rights are violated In muslim countries and this being one of them polygamy Being a right of woman that has been violated because you know, according to them Why would you go marry another wife if you already married now? judge richard Pozner of the united states courts of appeal For the seventh circuit reject rejected a right to plural marriage Because that would lead to gender imbalances And I quote he says if the five wealthiest men have a total of 50 wives Then women are done. Anyways, uh similar The the same sex Marriage advocate jonathan rouch. He argues that polygamy allows high status men to hard women to hard wives And these table lizes society Um, so basically what they're trying to say if the rich Marry all the women Then where do I go? Who do I marry? Who do I look at? you know, um, who do I uh Go home to uh, but anyways, uh around 58 We do have before we get into statistics. We have an audio message, uh from From Assalamu alaikum, rahmatullah, barakatuh. It is hurrah from canada. Um, I think that this is a very interesting topic And not only that but it's a very controversial topic as well Uh, polygamy as you know is is illegal in many western countries Um in islam it is halal to be in such a relationship But there are many rules and these rules many many men Don't follow and that's that's why I believe many women specifically are against these types of relationships so in my opinion, I I personally am against it but um I don't know again it lies in and uh both Thank you very much. Uh, sister hawrat from canada. Um, who was participating in the show Now honestly, she she she mentioned a few points. It is a very controversial topic and trust me when I say that um, uh, a lot of people Tend to look at it by with only one eye And the other half I closed but you know, uh, everyone has their own opinion. Thank you very much For joining us tonight now, uh around 58 out of nearly 200 sovereign states recognizes Polygamous marriages the vast majority of them being muslim countries in africa and in asia now a lot of people when when Polygamy is raised, uh, they always tend to look at Only sexual relationships other than maybe there are other reasons why people aren't Or reasons why people aren't are ignoring Instead of uh, focusing on the main reasons or maybe someone has a circumstance But we do have a caller from the usa Salamu alaikum.

Welcome to hashtag lnt and tonight's question is Should polygamy be accepted? What do you think? Um, uh, should the polygamy, uh, accepted in the society? Yeah The western society you said Yeah, yeah, yeah Okay, um, I think well in my opinion. I think it should be accepted I'm which you want that.

Now we all know that, uh, you know, a lot of the people who do marry, uh, a second third or fourth wife Are mainly muslim And of course, uh, I'm not saying that everyone does abide by the laws, but some people abuse at the same time 100 percent, but Let's go and look at real-life examples of polygamy, you know, imagine you're applying, uh, you know for a job A job at walmart and you know the application that you're filling out and this says the marital status And then you fill out, uh, you know Yes, I'm married and then the name of your wife and then you forget, you know, which one do I mention? Do I mention the first, second or third, you know, do I mention sarah? Haifa, whatever, you know, whatever i'm just making random names, uh, but yeah, imagine you're doing that How embarrassing would that be, you know, especially if, uh The person who is about to interview you He's gonna feel sad for you He's gonna probably give you the job right away because you know, you kind of feel like what three miles you've married, uh, to three but The lines are now open Don't forget to call and don't forget to let us know what you think about tonight's question and tonight's topic in your opinion Should polygamy be accepted? Should it or should it not? Do let us know what you think now, uh A lot of people When when when they go online, there was a debate, uh, or a survey that was conducted by debate.org and that survey It was made in the united states now They found that 56 percent Voted yes to polygamy And 44 percent voted no put to polygamy. I think in my opinion I think the men were the 56 and the women were 44, you know, because A woman, you know, she's jealous. She's overprotective of a man. Uh, you know, I'm trying to keep that man to herself but Let us know what you think. Let's go into a very very quick break. Uh, let me drink some water Uh, before we do that, uh, the Yeah, so let's go to a very short break. Let me just drink some water. Go ahead Welcome back viewers I hope you, inshallah, uh, enjoyed that quick three second or five second break of hashtag Yeah, now back to to the show, uh No, we can't say that on live television now.

This is Ahmed Anwar from the u.s. Thank you very much indeed for having me on your program And i'm really interested in your choice, which is polygamy Uh, in short, Islam allows polygamy and permits men under specific circumstances To have at most poor wives at any given time Now polygamy was customary, of course before islam And was not abrogated with the coming of islam instead islam has corrected And set various conditions for the practice The principle was permitted, but polygamy was limited to only four wives Uh, in short in every society, there are a large number of unmarried women who need and desire to marry and if they do not Mm-hmm. Thank you very much. I was was that it? I don't know, but thank you very much For joining us tonight, brother Ahmed Anwar from the united states. Subhanallah all of the united states tonight You know, it's it's it's good to have Guys who are you know looking forward for that, but as I said before guys come on It's accepted in this loud, you know a woman just accept it Polygamy is accepted. Why can't you accept it? But anyways, uh tonight is uh, is a very fun night Hopefully inshallah, you know, we can please our woman if we're married And you know, if you're not married go look for that wife. What are you doing? We're just chilling watching netflix and chills Instead of netbooks textbooks and skills anyways, we do have a message from We have a message from russia from the ua So due to technical difficulties, uh, we can't show we can't sorry So we can't display the message on screen, but we can read it According to russia, so she says polygamy is except is a subject That's often misunderstood Shouldn't be a habit, but however, uh, it should be accepted Under certain circumstances Loving a woman and mating Are two separate passions Thank you. Uh, that was the weirdest message ever The weirdest message ever. I don't know why there's internet. There's wi-fi everywhere But the co-producer had to read it in my ear instead of sending me On uh, what's up or telegram? But yeah, thank you russia from the UAE The co-producer baba send me the message What are you doing reading in my ear? But yeah, thank you very much. Um, moving on to the third segment now Every episode well every episode we've dedicated the last uh segment for The viewpoint of The scholars and the viewpoint of ahad el-bayta alayhim as-salam. Uh now As many know as as millions of people across the world know that there are many conditions one a person wants To a second and third marriage and a fourth marriage. Um now first of all the Man has to Be financially stable and financially able To support more than one wife um, you know, you can't be earning like You can't be earned like eight bucks an hour and trying to get married To a second wife, you know, you need to be at least Within the range of six thousand dollars to That's even the wall. You can't even get married the second one for you're getting three thousand dollars. You have to get you know at least Ten thousand plus in order to support another wife, uh, you know, because you'd be having children running on the house Uh, but anyways, so you need to be financially stable and financially able to support that woman the extra woman That that that second or third woman that you're getting married to and of course you have to be Equal in treatment equal in everything. So one day You go here the next day you got to go here One day you eat here the next day you got to eat here Different meals You know Drink different drinks and and and all that good stuff, you know, whatever you do for the first wife You got to do the second wife and you got to do the third wife So basically if you're buying a versace watch for your for your wife Wow, you got to buy another three versace watches for the other three or you buy a cologne You got to buy three extras and I don't know who has the extra cash to spend But we do have one minute left now Uh, you know, trust me when I say if you're making one wife live in a nice house That's it. You got to make the other wife live enough because really you don't need a headache You know, it's either you get married once or you know, if you do have the extra cash and the extra love You know, why not go share it to the other woman? But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala stays in the Quran In chapter four verse three he says Then marry other women who seem virtuous to you two or three or four Wow And if you fear that you cannot do them justice then only marry one So this verse sums up the show Go marry one two three or four. Well, you already married to one but two three four And if you can't do justice to them What basically I just said earlier, you know, you can't favor one over the other you have to favor all of them together You know have a a nice family of like three wives That's a deadly life right there But you know, uh, basically at the end of the show, we can always say, uh, let's hope that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gives this the ability To support our women, uh, you know and and and have them Live a very happy life and live happy with them as well. Now. Thank you very much for joining us tonight on hashtag L n t she got the next episode waslamu alaykum rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
