Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes, may Allah bless you. One of the sisters says: I notice that my husband, may Allah guide him, always praises the other wife and says that she serves him and his family, and he does not mention the work that I do. Is this justice? And is this permissible for the husband?
Answer:
First, you should fulfill the obligation upon you, just as the other wife does, and then the husband will not speak in this manner. Also, the husband should not praise one of the two wives in the presence of the other, because this angers her and makes her heart resentful toward him. So he should not speak in this way. He must consider the benefit and remove the harm. Yes.
