Is it permissible for the first wife to pray that Allah return her husband to her from the second wife and provide the second wife with another husband? And is it permissible for her to seek a divorce if her husband marries another?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A woman is not permitted to seek a divorce solely because her husband married another. Nor is she allowed to pray for the divorce of her co-wife or anyone else, as this constitutes an transgression in supplication (du'a).
