Question:
Umm Thamir from Jeddah asks: What is the ruling on a husband who gives a gift to one of his two wives and not to the other? Is this contrary to justice?
Answer:
If he has provided the second wife with what she needs in terms of maintenance, clothing, lodging, and housing, and he gives a gift or something else to some of his wives, then there is nothing wrong with this from the perspective of the Shari'ah. However, there is something to consider from the perspective that this causes resentment in his other wives, and it may lead to harm regarding his rights with them. So this matter should be avoided; this matter should be avoided and he should stay away from it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
