Question:
He says: A man has two wives, and one of them, the newer one, asked him to take her to 'Umrah, and the first one said, "You must take me to 'Umrah as well." What is the legal ruling in this matter? Does he have to take them both?
Answer:
The legal ruling is that if he takes them both, the problem is resolved. If he does not take them both, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to cast lots between his wives, and he would take the one for whom the lot came up. He should use the casting of lots in this case.
