Justice in Lodging Between Two Wives in Two Countries
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says to me: I have two wives, one is with me in this country and the other is in my home country. I stay with the one who is with me more than I stay with the one in my home country. How do I be just in lodging between them?
Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), when he intended to travel, would cast lots between his wives. Whichever wife’s lot came out, he would travel with her. And when he returned, he would be just between his wives in the division of time. When he returned to his home, he would start the division anew and be just between his wives. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
