Why Polygamy Is Superior to Monogamy
The genre of Islamic juristic opinions ( fatāwā or nawāzil ) provides a fascinating window into how Muslim jurists—both medieval and modern—have applied theoretical sharī‘a guidelines to actual problems facing their communities. Because Muslim practitioners have historically sought fatāwā (sing. fatwā ) on matters ranging from the legal to the ethical to the ritual, these juristic opinions allow us to trace not only the concerns of believers in d…

In some cases, claimants have subsequently been punished for fornication ( zinā ) because their accusations were seen as constituting confession to consensual illicit sex, w…
