How to be just when he has two wives in two distant regions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
We return in this episode, Your Eminence, to the letter of our brother: Babakir Adam Sulayman, a Sudanese. We presented part of his questions in a previous episode, and in this episode he says: I am married and settled in one area, and I have work in another area that is about a two-day drive away. It happened that I married in my work area, and I resided in my work place for about two or three months. When I come to my place of residence, I stay for about a week or two. Is this correct, or is there a violation of the Shari'ah regarding justice between the wives?
Answer: It is obligatory for you to be just between them according to your ability and possibility. So, you should move the one in your place of residence to your work place so that you are just between them, or move the new one to your first place so that you are just between them, or you seek their permission. If the first one permits and no hardship befalls her, then there is no harm in that; their rights are upheld. If the first one permits regarding part of her right, then there is no harm.
The point is that you must seek justice according to your ability, either by moving the first one to your work place, or moving the second one to your original place, to your first country, so that you gather them there and be just between them, or you seek the first one's permission regarding the deficiency she suffers. If she permits, then praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
