Does a man with two wives in two different towns perform the witr prayer in each town?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Some scholars who said that if a man has two wives in two towns, he performs the witr in each town. Is this the ruling, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : And he resides in this one and that one.

The questioner : No, he does not reside there; they say if he has two wives, for example, he comes to this one or to that one.

The Shaykh : Fine, this means he has a home there.

The questioner : But you do not find him there, this is just a route, meaning

The Shaykh : It does not contradict; we ask him, we say: Have you made this your home? If he says no, that he just came to visit, like visiting his wife, and returns to his original town, then he is traveling.

The questioner : This is his custom; he has a custom of coming to this place and staying in the earthquake zone.

The Shaykh : In any case, this is his intention. If he says, "By Allah, I admit that my home here is like my home here, but I prolong my stay in the second house because there are children and schools and the like," then he has a home there.
