Abraham and Hagar were Husband and wife read the Old Testament.
Do you think messengers of Allah are adulterers?
Answer 2
Genesis 16:3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
Since Hagar was Abraham's wife, then no, Abraham did not commit adultery.
Answer 3
Archaeologists have since transcribed ancient tablets of their legal code proving this practice, although peculiar and wrong to us today, was then perfectly legal and just reflected the custom of the times.

∙ 6y agoIn Torah-practice, it was acceptable to have more than one wife.Abraham took Hagar to wife while he was still married to Sarah (Genesis ch.16). This was precisely in accord with contemporary custom and was done at Sarah's insistence, not at Abraham's initiative. Since God had promised that Abraham would become a father (Genesis 12) but had not yet promised Sarah that she would be a mother (Genesis 17), it seemed that the handmaiden, Hagar, could serve as a kind of surrogate childbearer for them and that this might be God's intent.
The entire social milieu portrayed in the Torah, once criticized as anachronistic, has been shown to be historically accurate, including customs of marriage, adoption, contracts, inheritance, purchases, utensils, modes of travel, people's names and titles, etc. Professor Gleason Archer Ph.D of Harvard University states: "In case after case where historical inaccuracy was alleged as proof of late and spurious authorship of the biblical documents, the Hebrew record has been vindicated by the results of recent excavation, and condemnatory judgment has been proved to be without foundation."
