A wife giving her night to her co-wife

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on a wife giving her night to her co-wife?

Answer:
There is no harm in that. Sawdah (may Allah be pleased with her), the mother of the believers, did it when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted to divorce her because of her old age. She said, "I give my night to A'ishah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left her in his marriage bond. She wanted to remain because of the honor of the mothers of the believers to attain that. Yes.
