Distributing everything between the wives equally or with their consent


A: There is no harm in what you have done, if the two of them are happy with that, as Allah, (Glorified be He) says: So keep your duty to Allâh and fear Him as much as you can It is also reported that `Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said, The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to divide equally among his wives and be fair, then he would say, “O Allah! This is my division in that which I own (have control over or the power to do), so do not blame me in that which You own and I do not own (i.e. The inclination of the heart).” If they are not happy, it is obligatory on you to spend a night with each one, even if you do not have sexual intercourse, and then you may leave them both for two nights every four days, because fairness in the division of the nights is obligatory. As for the feelings of love and consequent desire for sexual intercourse, this is not in your power, this is a matter for Allah (Exalted be He). May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
