Wife asking husband’s permission to fast when he has another wife
Question: 9789
Is it obligatory for a wife to ask her husband’s permission to fast if that is on the other wife’s day?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
If the husband is
present with her then she should not fast without his permission, because he
may need her. But if he is with his other wife and it is the other wife’s
day, then it seems that it is o.k. for her to fast with or without his
permission.
