Equality Between Wives in the Bridal Gift and Furniture
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, if a man marries a second wife, is it obligatory for him to be just in the amount of the second bridal gift?
The Shaykh:
It is obligatory for him.
The questioner:
The amount of the second bridal gift. The bridal gift? Yes.
The Shaykh:
No, I mean, if he pays a bridal gift to his new wife, he gives her what he gave the second one? No, it is not obligatory for him. If he wants to give her more, that is a voluntary act on his part, and there is no harm in it. But that it is obligatory for him? No.
The questioner:
And is it obligatory for him to be equal between them in purchasing furniture?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not obligatory for him. Yes, perhaps that is sufficient. Yes.
