How to be just between wives
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I hope you will clarify this, Honorable Shaykh (may Allah preserve you), and explain how to be just between wives.
Answer:
Being just between wives is required in matters where justice is possible, such as residence, financial maintenance, clothing, and spending the night with them. Justice is obligatory in these matters because it is possible to be just in them. As for justice in love, a person cannot achieve that, because that is in the hand of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). However, a man must not let his love for one of his wives more than the others lead him to injustice toward her and unfairness toward the others. This is not permissible. Yes.
