He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man has two wives, one of whom is poor and the other’s family is wealthy, should he provide each with what is appropriate for her in terms of clothing, according to her wealth or poverty?
Answer:
Yes, yes. He provides for each woman what is appropriate for her. He does not give the wealthy wife the maintenance of the poor wife, nor is it required of him to give the poor wife the maintenance of the wealthy wife.
