Nigerian Islamic cleric and counselor Bello Muhammed Tahir (BMT) has expressed strong disapproval of the way Muslim first wives view potential second wives as “husband snatchers,” describing it as “sickening, and unpalatable.”
In a Facebook post on Monday, July 21, the cleric said that a woman being a first wife doesn’t mean that her husband is her property.
“It is sickening and very unpalatable how Muslim first wives think that a potential second wife is a husband snatcher,” he wrote.
From where did you get this unGodly conception?
How does being the first wife make the man your property that any other woman can’t be interested in him?
Just how? To say that this is coming from Muslims is dissatisfying.
Even Christians don’t think this way anymore.
I hope Allāh doesn’t test you one day where the table turns and you have to be at the mercy of another.
Some of us really need to be guided and learn how to conduct ourselves. Allahumma.
