Summary
In this episode, I'm joined by my good friend and Muslim feminist, Fatima Al-Qadhi, to discuss the controversial topic of polygamy in the Muslim community and how it affects women in the modern world. We discuss what it means to be polyamorous in modern Muslim culture, what it is like to be a Muslim woman in the 21st century, and what it's like being a woman in a modern Muslim household.

I've come together with the one on my charity which is 100% donation policy and do amazing work around the world
00:00:04.400
This winter, Balvin Sisters, help to feed those who are in poor conditions
00:00:08.020
And who don't even have the clothing to keep themselves warm
00:00:12.260
But it can change their life and help them survive the winter this year
00:00:15.260
You were reacting to Muslim women who were talking about their experiences with polygamy
00:00:25.460
So the thing is, every man is polygamist by nature
00:00:28.560
What Islam does is send protocols to tell you how to do it in a proper way
00:00:32.060
That you don't abuse the other wife, you know why?
00:00:34.000
Because non-Muslim men, some Muslims do this as well
00:00:36.180
They have side chicks, mistresses and girlfriends
00:00:37.840
So Islam says no, if you're going to do it, you do it the right way
00:00:40.900
You want another woman, you honour her, you speak to her father
00:00:44.040
No, I'll get whatever I want and I'll chuck you to the side
00:00:46.820
No, no, no, you marry her, you honour her, you give her a wedding
00:00:50.620
And I believe any woman in their right mind, if they're a feminist
00:00:55.680
When you were arguing with that woman, she was a feminist but also a Muslim, is that right?
00:01:02.660
Yes, she didn't ascribe, she had some feministic views, you know
00:01:14.200
You said, if you want me to stand in front of you
00:01:17.440
When we're getting attacked by some guy with a knife
00:01:22.520
Well, exactly, you know why, because this is exactly what we're saying
00:01:24.980
Remember I said, the greatest inequality is to treat unequal things equally
00:01:28.680
So the thing is, I'm at my most vulnerable when it comes to, and we studies that show
00:01:33.380
Now, as Muslim men, we are not allowed to sleep around
00:01:35.680
Meaning that, we even told, Allah says in the Quran
00:01:39.540
Meaning, if I go out and I see a woman dressed inappropriately or appropriately
00:01:43.100
I don't care if she's wearing a niqab, hijab or a bikini
00:02:17.560
How many times is she allowed to say no though?
