CAIRO: The grand imam of Egypt’s Al-Azhar Institution, Sheikh Ahmed Al-Tayeb, has sparked a debate on social media with comments on polygamy, saying it can be an “injustice for women and children.”
Al-Tayeb, a leading Sunni scholar, said the practice came from “a lack of understanding of the Qur’an.”
“Those who say that marriage must be polygamous are wrong, we have to read the (Qur’anic) verse in full,” he said.
Speaking on his weekly television program and on Twitter, Al-Tayeb said that monogamy was the rule and polygamy was an exception.
