The Just Way of Providing for Wives
A man is married to two wives, one has six children and the other has one child. He buys household items for both wives in equal amounts. Is this permissible? And is it permissible for him to give from the share of the wife who has one child to the wife who has six children because her children are more?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Justice is to divide the expenses according to the number of children, taking into account the share of the small and the large, and God knows best.
