[@zattut]

I always argued that allowing to marry 4 wives is misunderstood, but people get nasty when you explain it to them especially the middle easterns. Thank you and Allah bless you

40:42 Aya 1

[@malachi8461]

What Arabic Quran is the shaykh using here? Anyone know ?

[@za2959]

So, the Quran is saying to men that in order to look after orphans, they can marry 1, 2, 3 or 4 women...I don't understand the link...

[@kamlasayeen]

In Islam a child is considered an orphan if they've lost their father, but they could still have their mother. I could be wrong in my understanding, but if a man notes there is a widow with children who need support, he could marry her and a couple other women in similar situations, thereby becoming a provider to all these women and children.

[@muhammednaif9927]

the verse was revealed after a war and there were many men dead. at that time on average men were the bread winners. having men dies left so many women and children in poverty and hunger. so the revalation came that if you want to take care of the orphans they can marry 1,2,3,4 so that they can feed the orphans. there are more detailed video on this. check search for beauty channel.

@@kamlasayeen Salam, the shaykh says specifically (sorry I didn't note the timestamp) that orphans are children who lost their guardian, whether father or mother.
