The Difference in Financial Maintenance Between Two Wives with Their Consent
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man has two wives, and he gives each of them enough maintenance to suffice her, but it is not equal between them, and this is with their consent. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
It is obligatory for him to give each woman what suffices her. If he gives the other more than what suffices her, there is nothing wrong with that, because he gave each one what suffices her. If he grants the other an increase from his own resources, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
