Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does the division begin from the setting of the sun?
Answer:
Yes, the wife of the night [begins her turn] from the setting of the sun.
Q: Do they have no share in the daytime?
The Shaykh: It appears that he must be just in it, just as in the night. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 2134 For this reason, he would visit them all during the day, without giving preference to any one of them; he would visit them all in the afternoon, and justice includes that.
Q: Is the night the basis of the division?
The Shaykh: Generally, yes. Otherwise, some people do not have a night [to be with their wives]; they have only the day. So it is obligatory to be just in both the night and the day. But for most people, the night is the basis. However, some people may work at night, such as a guard, so they may not be available... except during the day. In that case, the day is like the night for others.

O Allah, this is my division concerning what I control, so do not blame me concerning what You control
