The answer

If the husband's sleeping with his children harms his wife and prevents her from her right to sexual intercourse, then it is not permissible for him to do so. Rather, he must not fall short in her due right. However, if he does not fall short in her right, then he may sleep wherever he wishes. Spending the night, in the sense of fulfilling the wife's need, is a right due to her, according to the more preponderant opinion. There is disagreement regarding its specific duration: some say every four nights, while others say it is according to the wife's need.
