Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it obligatory for a husband to be just between his wives in everything? For example, if he waives his right to a house he owns and writes it over to one of his wives, is he required to do the same for the other wives?
Answer:
No, he is not required to do that. This is a gift. He is required to be just between them in financial maintenance, clothing, and housing. He must be just between them in these matters. As for preferring one of his wives with a gift he gives her, there is no harm in that.
