[Providing for wife and children]
Fatawa Question
As-Salamu `Alaykum. I was speaking with someone the other day about the right of a Muslim wife as far as her husband having to provide her with shelter, food and clothing. The person I was speaking with said that it is ok for a man to have his wife on government assistance as long as her needs were met. Even though he would not be the one directly taking care of her needs but the taxpayers and the government would. The person also said that the man can even have more than one wife and all the wives can be on government assistance. Is this Islamic ? Please, provide Hadith proof with your answer.
