Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! What is the ruling if the husband has an illness that prevents him from moving between his wives? Is he allowed to choose in this matter?
Answer:
Dividing time is obligatory in a state of health and in a state of illness. If he is able to walk, he is taken to the house of the wife whose turn it is. He does not seek permission, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sought permission.
