The questioner : From Algeria, we received this message from the questioner, E. E. A. J. He says in his message: Is it permissible for a Muslim to have both of his wives in one bed on one night, and what are the consequences for the one who does so?
The Shaykh : The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) mentioned that such an act is disliked and that it should not be done, because it causes jealousy between the two wives, and he cannot fulfill the obligation of justice between them in this situation. If he turns his back to one, he faces the other, and if he faces the other, he turns his back to the second, and in this way, the obligatory justice is lost. It may also be a cause that prevents the complete enjoyment of the two wives or one of them. For this reason, the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) disliked a man gathering his two wives in one bed.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
