If a woman grows old, does the obligation of rotation of nights fall off for her?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question, Fatwa number ( 7781 )
Q2: Is it correct that if a Muslim has four wives, and one of them reaches old age, meaning her menstruation has stopped, is it obligatory for him to give her zakah, meaning to feed her only and not visit her?
A2: It is obligatory for him to house her, clothe her, and provide for her. As for rotating nights with her, one night out of four, that is between him and her; they should agree. If she is satisfied, praise be to Allah. If she is not satisfied, he must either rotate nights with her or divorce her if
she requests it. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
