Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If a wife forgives her husband and overlooks his bias toward his other wife before his death, will he come on the Day of Resurrection with a tilted share, or has Allah forgiven him because of her forgiveness?
Answer:
It is the bias; he leans toward one in love more than the others, and he cannot be just in love. And[An-Nisa 4:129] This is regarding love. As for justice in financial maintenance, clothing, lodging, and housing, this is obligatory upon him. There is justice that can be achieved and justice that cannot be achieved. Yes.
