Does the second wife have the right to prevent her husband from visiting his first wife and to cause problems because of it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible for a wife to request the divorce of the first wife, as this is an act of injustice, aggression, and a request for something unlawful. It is obligatory for the husband to be just between his two wives and not to incline towards one over the other, for injustice will be darknesses on the Day of Resurrection.
