How to be just between the children of wives

Question:
This questioner, who indicated his name with (A. A), says: How is justice achieved between the children, especially since I am married to two wives?

Answer:
Every group is given their rights. Justice among them is that you give them their rights. So, two have a certain amount, three have a certain amount, and four have a certain amount. If the children of one of the wives are two, and the children of the other are three or four, each is given his right, each is given his right, and so on. The third and fourth wives are given the necessary maintenance.
As for gifts other than maintenance, justice is required in them. If you give them something in addition to maintenance, justice is required; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: As for maintenance, it is according to need. Many children have maintenance, and few children have maintenance. The young one has maintenance, and the older one has maintenance. They differ in their clothing and in other things. Yes.
