The wife's refusal of sexual intercourse due to her husband's marriage to another woman
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Badr from Dammam asks your eminence: Is it permissible for a wife to refuse marital relations because her husband has married another woman?
Answer:
It is not permissible for her to do this, and her husband has the right to marry another woman, provided he acts justly between the wives by giving each wife what she needs in terms of food, drink, clothing, and housing, and by spending the night with her on one of the nights, meaning one out of four nights, he stays with her in her home. If he does this, he may marry up to four women, for Allah has made that permissible for him. If she refuses because he married another woman, she is a nushuz (marital defiant) wife; she is a nushuz wife, and nushuz is a sin. It is not permissible for her to be defiant toward her husband[An-Nisa 4:34]. Yes.

But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them
وَاللَّاتِي تَخَافُونَ نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ وَاهْجُرُوهُنَّ فِي الْمَضَاجِعِ وَاضْرِبُوهُنَّThe presenter:
