Answer
Assalaamu Álaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu
It is permissible for a Muslim male to have the maximum of four wives simultaneously if he will be able to maintain justice and equality among all his wives. If you are an unmarried Muslim female, it is permissible for the married Muslim male to marry you. However, you should exercise extreme precaution as that may affect his existing marriage.
And Allah Taãla Knows Best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
