The answer

A husband must be just between his two wives concerning their nights, and he is not permitted to deprive a wife of her right unless she is disobedient (nashiz) or she willingly relinquishes it. If the husband acts unjustly or oppresses, there is a difference of opinion among jurists regarding making up for the missed nights. It is not permissible for the husband to extend the division (of nights) beyond one night, or to specify certain days for his other wife, except with their consent. Both spouses are advised to communicate to resolve their problems and ensure family stability.
