The answer

It is not advisable to return to the first wife who does not pray, as it was narrated from Ahmad that he feared it would not be permissible for a man to stay with her. He should remain with the second wife who observes her prayers and advise her regarding any duties she neglects and explain to her the danger of disobeying her husband. He should also diligently advise his daughter and remind her of the danger of abandoning prayer.
