Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I have two wives, and one of them wants to attend a private school at the end of the year, so I gave the school she attends one thousand riyals. As for my other wife, she does not study. Does she have the right to ask for this thousand that I gave to the other?
Answer:
No, no, she has no right to that. I say she has no right to that. Her right is financial maintenance, clothing, housing, and lodging. That is her right. Yes.
