If the Quran allows a Muslim man to keep 4 wives, why did Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) have more than 4?
That makes sense. Was it common for men in the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) time to have multiple wives?
Yes, it was quite common for men in that time and culture to have multiple wives. However, the Quran sets limitations and conditions for polygamy and emphasizes the importance of treating all wives equally.
