The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : How are you, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner : Fine, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : May Allah make you well.
The questioner : How are the two brothers doing?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner : You brought this from the Eastern Province, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. Shaykh, there is a question from a man who is married to two wives. He traveled to an area outside the city and dropped off one of his wives at her family’s house. After he returned from his trip, he was to be with the second wife, so he spent the night with the second wife. Then, the following night, a circumstance occurred where this wife fell ill, so he was unable to bring his second wife, whom he had dropped off at her family’s house during his trip. He called her on the phone and said, “I am unable to come to you, and the distance is about an hour and fifteen minutes; you may have reached the Eastern Province, between al-Hassa and Dammam.”
The Shaykh : Fine. So, does he compensate her for that night that he did not bring her, when you said you could not come because of an illness that struck your first wife, so you had to stay because she had no one to care for her? After that, on the day following, you brought her, and she said, “You have deprived me of my night,” meaning the night that I was certain you would come to me but you did not. Does he compensate her with a night?
