The answer

Allah has permitted a man to marry more than one woman on condition of justice. Polygyny may even become obligatory for him if one wife is insufficient to keep him chaste. It is obligatory for the wife to obey her husband and not to abandon him or deny him his right to intimacy merely because he married another woman. Otherwise, she would be disobedient, sinful, and rebellious (nashiz). The husband should advise his wife gently and wisely, and consider her state due to jealousy. As for Hajj, if the wife performs it fulfilling its conditions and pillars, it is valid. What occurred from her towards her husband does not affect its validity, but her reward as an obedient wife is not like her reward as a disobedient one.
