wife for a shar’i reason [i.e., withholds conjugal relations for
disciplinary purposes]? Or should he stay in the same house with the wife
whom he is forsaking?

Is it permissible for him to go to his second wife if he forsakes his first wife for a shar’i reason?
Question: 10237
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen, may Allaah preserve him, who answered as follows:
For the sake of dividing his time fairly among his wives, giving each wife a night and a day, he should stay with her. And Allaah knows best.
