Is justice required in food between wives?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is justice required in food when a man has multiple wives, or not?
The Shaykh : Is food obligatory, or is it not obligatory? Or, in other words, is feeding them obligatory?
The questioner : Obligatory.
The Shaykh : And clothing?
The questioner : Obligatory.
The Shaykh : It is obligatory. Is justice required in clothing?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And why is it not required there?
The questioner : A man entering his wife’s home means he feeds her.
The Shaykh : What do you mean, no? What was your question?
The questioner: This is my question.
The Shaykh : Entering the wife’s home?
The questioner : Yes, and he feeds her.
The Shaykh : Does she eat from her food or from your food?
The questioner: From the food that is at her place.
The Shaykh : I know, but is it from her purse or from yours?
The questioner: From my purse.
The Shaykh : So, from your food.
The questioner : Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh : Fine, what is the problem... Perhaps you want to prevent the husband from visiting his wives without spending your money? You are not speaking?
The questioner : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) visited his wives...
The Shaykh : I am not asking you; I just want you to say no so that I can tell you this is also the same.
