Polygyny is the Sunnah
(Having more than one wife is the Sunnah)

Question: is having more than one wife something permissible in Islaam or is it the Sunnah?
The Answer: Having more than one wife is the Sunnah if you have ability to do so due to the saying of Allaah The most high:
<<Then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or four but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or (the captives and the slaves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice. >> [Soorah an-Nisa:3]
And also due to the action of the Prophet - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam ý he had altogether nine women and Allaah made it a means for the Ummah to have benefited from them.
This is from the distinguished characteristics of the Messenger - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam, as for other than him then it is not allowed to combine more than four.
As for having more than one wife then there are great benefits for men, women and all the Muslim Ummah. Indeed what is achieved/beneficial for everyone, by having more than one wife is lowering ones gaze, protection for the private parts, increase in offspring, that a man can look after the benefits of a large number of women and can defend them from causes of evil and deviances.
As for the one who is incapable of doing this and fears that he will not be just between them, then he should suffice with one due to the saying of Allaah Subhana:
<<But if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one>> [Soorah an-Nisa:3]
May Allaah give all the Muslims that which there is benefit for them and success for them in this world and the Hereafter.

The foundation of marriage is polygyny
(Having more than one wife)

Question is the foundation of marriage polygyny or is it having one wife?
The answer: The foundation in the Sharia is polygyny for he who has the capability to do so, and will not oppress them.
This is due to the many benefits of polygyny, protecting ones private parts, protection for the one who marries women and is good to them. The increase of offspring by which the Ummah is increased thereby an increase of those who worship Allaah alone.
The evidence which shows this is the saying of Allaah Ta ala:
<<Then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or four but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or (the captives and the slaves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice.>> [Soorah an-Nisa:3]
Also, because the Messenger - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam ý married more than one wife and Allaah Subhanahu said:
<<Verily in the Messenger of Allaah you have a beautiful example>>
[Soorah Ahzab:21]
The Messenger- sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam ý mentioned when some of the companions said: As For me then I will not eat meat, another one said: As for me then I will pray and I will not sleep. Another one said as for me then I will fast and not open my fast. Another one said: as for me then I will not marry women.
So when this news reached the Prophet - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam ý he addressed the people and praised and glorified Allaah then he said: ýIndeed such and such news has reached me. However I fast and open my fast, pray and sleep. I eat meat and marry women. So whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not from me.ý
This is a great statement from the Prophet - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam ý which includes having one wife and polygyny.
Allaah is The One who gives the capability.

The above links do not seem to work. This one below should take you straight to the link inshaa'Allaah.

It is important that this is addressed because there is an ever-growing trend of sisters who are looking for marriage but they do not want to marry a brother who is "interested in polygyny."

Question: What is the ruling of the one who dislikes and makes others detest the marrying of four wives?
What is the origin of marriage according to the Sunnah, is it to marry four or one?
