Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah guide you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: If a man has two wives and one of them has more children
The Shaykh:
and they are.
The questioner:
and one of them, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
one of them.
The questioner:
and one of them has more children than the other, is it permissible for him to increase the maintenance of the first in a way that he does not increase it for the second?
The Shaykh:
This is regarding the children, not regarding her. He gives the second wife her maintenance and that of her children, and he gives the first wife only her maintenance because she has no children.
