Is the husband sinful if he keeps her as his wife despite the harm caused to his first wife by that, and is she sinful for not seeking a divorce despite causing harm to her co-wife?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no sin upon you for remaining with this husband, nor is there any sin upon him for keeping you as his wife. What you mentioned about his first wife's illness and her distress does not cause either of you to fall into sin.
