The answer

A husband must be just between his wives in terms of division [of time], unless one of them waives her right. As for gifts, presents, and preferences in dowry, housing, or furniture, the husband is not required to be just in these matters. He may give to one wife without the knowledge of the others, as long as he fulfills each wife's rights and spends on her reasonably. He is not obligated to equalize spending and clothing if each wife is adequately provided for.
