P.S i was to post the following two hours back but was not able to due to an interruption in my interent connection.. I havent read all the comments posted thereafter, so i am just posting my original post (without editing it after considering the comments later)..

My real question is very simple, Why discourage something that Allah has encouraged, Rasool Allah صلي الله عليه وسلم has encouraged, and Sahaba رضي الله عنهم have encouraged?

Firstly, i think its better if we continue looking at ourselves than at others actions : ) Different Ulama and and Mashaa'ikh have different opinions and views (which we call in urdu as Mizaj aur Mazaak). Hence, some might disagree with Hazrat Walaz stance (which may include his son as well); So its not a big issue!

As for Hazrat's viewpoint, i made it clear in my previous post.. Its that he feels that most of the people nowadays face difficulty in coping up even with a single wife, so if they will marry more than that, they will likely be unable to manage more wives properly. Now since the condition of polygamy is that all wives be treated appropriately and equally, which is difficult to achieve these days, hence he generally discpurages the people to look forward for furhter wives.. Hazrat Wala says that the prime sunnat of marrying is fulfilled with a single marriage. So if marrying more than that brings much inconvenience with regards to fulfillment of rights and carrying other activities (e.g. ibadat, work, etc) so its better to abstain from it and suffice with a single wife. Bear in mind that Hadhrat is a great Shaykh and must have seen, heard and read many such cases which made him create such a view.

As for the point of going against the vew of Sahabah etc, then scholars might explain it better. What I think is that It should not be taken as such; since ulama, at times, do discourage people from some particular mubaah (permissible) aur even mustahab (recommended) acts if they feel that they will bring more negatives than benefits (I hope that theres no need to cite examples of such rulings). Wallahu A’lam!

For me, since I have not even married once, hence the question for a second marriage becomes insignificant. Wesay achay rishtay k lyay dua kijyay ga : ). However, if I do get a chance, I will try to further ask somebody, in Khanqah, about the matter. But I cant promise for this..
