A Sunni fatwa reference site's answer on polygyny, quoting Qur'an 4:3 permitting up to four wives at one time and 4:129 on the impossibility of perfect emotional justice between them, and stating that just material treatment among wives and the financial capacity to support each are binding conditions.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
A widely used Sunni fatwa and reference site rather than a peer-reviewed academic source; the fetched answer names no individual scholar. Used only for the uncontroversial, near-universally agreed classical ruling (the Qur'anic text and its conditions), not for any contested or minority position.
