Is the husband allowed to spend the night with his first wife and fulfill her marital rights during the six-month period designated for the second wife? What is the Sharia ruling regarding the second wife's objection and request for compensation for the days the first wife spent with the husband during the second wife's period, given that the second wife feels injustice in this division and desires a Sharia fatwa?
A husband must be just between his wives in terms of lodging, and this obligation does not fall away due to different countries. If a husband has two wives in different countries, he must be just between them in the division (of time), either by going to the absent wife during her days, or by bringing her to him, or by dividing the duration between them as much as possible, depending on the proximity or distance of the countries. If the husband divides six months for each wife, then he must lodge with each of them during her allotted period. The wife must communicate with her husband gently and remind him of the obligation of justice and the warning (of punishment) associated with injustice.
