The Shaykh : The author said: "Chapter on Dividing Time":
Dividing time: To divide a thing into parts. This is the original meaning; you say, "I divided it" or "I apportioned it," meaning I made it into parts. The intended meaning here is that this chapter concerns dividing time between two wives or more. That is, you assign one day to this wife and one day to that wife, or two days to this one and two days to that one, according to what they agree upon.
