Sharing the night with one's wives after a journey

· 28 Muharram 1445 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I would like to know how it works if the husband travels alone for one night on a journey without either wife? When he returns, who's turn would it be?

Answer

There will be no accounting for the period that he was out on a journey and away from both wives. After returning, the night turns will resume from the time before he set out on the journey e.g. if the first wife spent the night with him prior to his departure, then when he returns from the journey, it will be the turn of the second wife.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
