Sharing one's room with one's co-wife

· 9 Jumada II 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Allah Ta'ala has given me a 2 bedroom house. My husband desired another female. I am 7 months pregnant. I gave her the other bedroom. Do I have to share my room with her? Because my husband wants to sleep (no sexual activity) in the same bed. He believes I am wrong because I want my own room in my house.

Answer

The husband is wrong.

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