Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. If a man wants to marry a second wife, is it obligatory for the first wife to be provided with what was provided for the new bride, or what do you advise? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
These are matters that revert to the custom and prevailing practices of the country, because if he contradicts the custom and prevailing practice of the country, evil will result from that between him and his wife. So he should revert to the custom in this, as long as that custom is not forbidden. As long as it is a custom that does not conflict with what is prescribed, he should follow it according to his ability.
