How should one divide his time if he is married to more than one woman?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the rooms, a man married to four women.
The Shaykh: Yes
The questioner : Regarding the room, how should the time be organized for each one?
The Shaykh : The time organization?
The questioner : And is the room here a house or a room, how do you interpret it linguistically?
The Shaykh : You have lost me, even though I am not easily lost, because you were looking for the room or the rooms, which is a place, and then you moved to time.
The questioner : They are two questions, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Fine, my brother, stick to one question and finish it, and then move to another if time permits you or us.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you. Is this not your specific question?
The questioner : The question is about the place, if Allah wills?
The Shaykh : Is there a problem with the rooms?
The questioner : In our usage, is the room the bedroom?
The Shaykh : A room, a room, yes, what is called a room, not the house, the room.
The questioner : Is not the house the dwelling?
The Shaykh : No, the house is the room.
The questioner : Each wife has a house, meaning a room.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Regarding the time organization?
The Shaykh : This is according to what he sees as his benefit first, or in other words, more pleasantly, according to what he agrees upon with them. He may agree with them for one night here and one night here and one night here, and so on. He may agree for two nights here and two nights here, and so forth. He may agree for a week here and a week there. This is a matter that has no specific legal limits, but justice must be observed in it. Is that clear?
The questioner : Clear. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And you, if Allah wills, are you married to four?
The questioner : No, one person is asking this question. I did not ask whether he is married or not.
The Shaykh : What do you mean, you disclaim marrying four?
The questioner : No, if Allah wills, I will not be among those who are envious, what do you think? Did you see if something happened...
The Shaykh : laughsThe Shaykh : May Allah have mercy on him. Fine, are you married?
