Abu Hurayrah (RA) narrated that the Prophet (PBUH) said: *“Whoever has two wives and favours one of them over the other, will come on the Day of Resurrection with one of his sides leaning (ie- Paralysed).”* 📚 Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (1141), Abu Dawood (2133), al-Nasaa’i (3942) and Ibn Majaah (1969).

Now,

Islam requires the man who has more than one wife to treat his wives equally and fairly. And what is meant by that is fairness with regard to spending the night, accommodation, spending and clothing, travelling issues etc.....

*But how?*

Fairness In Accommodation:

What is meant by fairness in accommodation is that each of them should have her own accommodation where he comes to her, and their accommodation should not vary with the intention of favouring one over the other.

Ibn Qudaamah said:

"The man does not have the right to make his two wives live together in one house without their consent, whether they are young or old, because that causes them harm due to the enmity and jealousy that exists between them, so making them live together provokes arguments and fighting, and each of them can hear sounds when he is intimate with the other, or she can see that. But if they agree to that, then it is permissible, because they have that right but they are also allowed to forego it."
📚Al-Mughni, 7/229.

Beloved brother!

It is injustice if for instance, u make available *Room & Pallor Face-Me-I-Face-You* with general toilet & kitchen for 1st wife with 4 children, and a 2 bedroom flat for 2nd wife with only one child.. But there is NO SIN if u make available for ur 1st wife, a 3 bedroom flat because, at that particular time, she have 5 children. And 2nd wife with No child yet or with only one child, a one bedroom flat.

Furthermore,

Any of ur wives can leave in extrally more comfortable accommodation if she is a working class type and can pay accommodation fees from her pocket.
