Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... a previously married woman, and she chose the seven-day stay, is it obligatory for him ...
The Shaykh : Of whom?
The questioner : It is obligatory upon the husband.
The Shaykh : Yes, because the choice is hers. If she chooses the seven-day stay, he stays for seven days. But as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, if he stays for seven days for her, he stays for seven days for his other wives. Three days, O Salim, yes.
