There is no hadeeth which says that a wife’s permission is required before taking another wife
Question: 9479
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
There is no hadeeth which states that, and it is not conditional for the husband to have his wife’s permission to take another wife. But it is in everyone’s interests for him to try to get her consent, because this will help to reduce problems in the marriage.
