Question
I have two wives. To what extent is equality Waajib in expenses? If for example, the phone of the one wife needs repair and I have it repaired, do I have to provide the same amount to the other wife as well?
Answer
Yes, you have to. Equality of monetary expenses and gifts is incumbent for the wives. It is binding to give the same amounts to both wives. Even if the one wife does not require it, the cash has to be given to her. In your example, the amount spent on repairing the phone of the one wife has to be given in cash or kind to the other wife.
