Is it obligatory to make up a day for the first wife after spending the night of travel with the second wife, and what if the first wife objects and demands a lottery?

A husband must be just between his wives. He is not permitted to travel with one of them unless by lot or with their consent. He is not required to compensate the wife who stayed behind for the duration of the travel. If a wife requests a lot, it is not permissible to travel with another without her, and in this case, obedience to the mother is not obligatory. Justice is obligatory in terms of lodging (mabit) but not intercourse (jima'), though if justice can be achieved in it, that is preferable.
