The questioner:
Peace be upon you. Good, O Shaykh, please, may I speak to the Shaykh? Please, let me say: O Shaykh, I have two wives, and some problems arose between me and one of them. I tried to divorce her, but she was stubborn, so I left her with her children and married another woman and left her. So, O Shaykh, I no longer visit her. I do not know if I owe anything; I am afraid that something from the boycott or something else might catch up with me.
The presenter:
All right, thank you, Abu Muhammad. Thank you, Abu 'Uwaid.
The Shaykh:
As long as she is under your responsibility, she has rights against you just like any other wife. She has rights against you regarding financial maintenance, clothing, lodging, and housing, as long as she is under your responsibility. Yes.
