What is the ruling on a polygamous husband traveling with his second wife for 'Umrah and to visit his parents during the nights allocated to the first wife, knowing that this travel is not out of necessity and that the second wife does not wish for him to sever ties with his family or to make things difficult for him, especially after her miscarriage?

If a husband travels for 'Umrah with one of his wives, he must compensate the other wife for the duration he spent with the first one, because he traveled for her need. However, he is not required to compensate for the days of travel and transit. If he travels to visit his parents or to maintain kinship ties, then upon his return, he should start with the wife whose turn it was before his departure.
