He who leans toward one of his wives will come on the Day of Resurrection with his side leaning

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : She says: Honorable Shaykh, she heard a tape of yours at the neighbors' house stating that a man who has two wives and leans toward one of them should prepare for the punishment on the Day of Resurrection.

The Shaykh : Yes, that is not correct. He should prepare for the warning, not the punishment, because if he comes on the Day of Resurrection with his side leaning, he will be exposed before the people. So, a man who has two wives or more should fear Allah the Exalted and be just between them to the best of his ability.

The questioner : If he does not be just between them, what will happen, Shaykh?

The Shaykh : He does what he can in terms of division: he gives this one a day and a night, and that one a day and a night. In spending, if he buys meat for this one, he buys meat for the other, to the best of his ability.

The presenter : May Allah keep you safe. Thank you to the sister questioner.
