Will my husband's wife's prayer against me be answered because I married him, and is my prayer against his mother considered an act of disobedience to parents?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Allah has permitted polygyny for men, provided they are able to fulfill their obligations, and there is no disagreement on this matter. The prayer of a co-wife against her because of her husband's marriage does not harm the wife; rather, the co-wife would be a transgressor, and aggression in supplication prevents its acceptance. A wife's prayer against her mother-in-law for injustice is not considered disobedience to the husband; rather, it is a seeking of one's right. However, it is preferable to refrain from such prayers and instead pray for reconciliation between hearts.
