Making Laws Against The Permissions Granted By Allah
In that case also, shouldn’t it be a case to case decision? Rather than a general law for all such as not marrying more than one wife
My response remains the same – Quran is not a document laying out the code of conduct for robots. It’s a book that is meant to guide the entire humanity through the end of time. In a sense, it serves as a constitution which doesn’t change but laws are made and revised often which carry out the spirit of the constitution.
@UmerQureshi When Allah gave this permission he did not see fit to include this condition. That should surely mean something. What do you think? Do we have the right to change God’s given law?
Yes, the spirit of the law about thieves allows that starving people be forgiven. But when it comes to four wives, the permission is that you can do it even if you just like them. So if someone wants to undertake this God given right for any reason (maybe his first wife is infertile) then what is in the spirit of the command that his needs be overlooked and a ‘one size fits all’ command be implemented in this manner? The permission’s spirit is that the person himself should judge whether he can do justice or not. After he does some injustice the state can come in- but why before? Not all people are the same
