Islam stands as a harmonious faith, thoughtfully attuned to the intricacies of human psychology. It is not uncommon for scholars and observers from the East to raise concerns regarding the frequency of marriages in Islam, suggesting that it may inadvertently perpetuate gender oppression by permitting polygamy. Nevertheless, a closer examination reveals that this is not an avenue for oppression but rather a safeguard for modesty, with the very essence of marriage rooted in the preservation of virtue.The profound wisdom behind this allowance lies in the understanding that human desires can ebb and flow with changing circumstances, including variations in climate. In cases where these desires become overwhelming and there is no provision for a subsequent marriage, the question arises: why uphold the sanctity of modesty? Thus, Islam, emerging as a force to quell discord, vice, and societal turmoil, has extended the privilege of entering into up to four marriages simultaneously. It is crucial to underline that this permission comes with stringent conditions, articulated in the realm of Islamic jurisprudence as 'Qasam'.
To examine the Islamic perspective on polygamy, specifically addressing concerns about gender oppression and highlighting its role as a safeguard for modesty and virtue, drawing upon Islamic jurisprudence and the text "Lisan ul Al-Hokaam Fi Ma'rifat Al-Ahkam."
The study appears to be a qualitative analysis based on Islamic jurisprudence and religious texts, specifically referencing the work "Lisan ul Al-Hokaam Fi Ma'rifat Al-Ahkam" and relevant Quranic verses and Hadith.

The paper argues against the notion that polygamy in Islam inherently leads to gender oppression. Instead, it posits that the allowance for multiple marriages is a wise provision to manage fluctuating human desires and maintain societal harmony and virtue. The core of the discussion revolves around the jurisprudential conditions ('Qasam') that govern this practice.
Islam permits polygamy (up to four marriages) not as a means of oppression but as a safeguard for modesty and virtue, particularly when human desires are strong. This permission is contingent upon stringent conditions outlined in Islamic jurisprudence, referred to as 'Qasam'.
The allowance of polygamy in Islam is presented as a mechanism to uphold modesty and prevent vice, rather than a tool for oppression. This practice is strictly regulated by specific conditions within Islamic jurisprudence.
