Is it permissible for a friend who has concluded his marriage contract and whose wedding has been postponed for six months to marry another woman before consummating his first marriage?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no objection to a man marrying from one up to four wives, as long as he does not fear falling short in fulfilling their rights. Therefore, it is permissible for someone who has contracted a marriage with one woman to marry another, whether he has consummated the marriage with the first or not.
