The answer

Allah has permitted a man to have multiple wives, provided he is able to be just among them, for Allah Almighty says: "Then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] one" (An-Nisa: 3). The husband is not required to inform his wife of his desire to marry a second wife, and it is appropriate to consider what is best in this matter.
