What is the ruling on a first wife giving up her night to her co-wife due to her illness and absence from home, with the husband not informing the second wife until late? And does the following day become the right of the first wife or the second wife, who did not consent to that? And does the husband compensate his wife who gave up her day on her co-wife's day?
If the first wife relinquishes her night to the second, and the husband agrees, there is no sin. The following night then belongs to the second wife. The husband is not obliged to compensate the first wife for what she has foregone. She may reclaim her night in the future, but not for what has already passed.
