When is the mother more entitled to custody?

Question:
Abu Hamd from Riyadh. Peace be upon you, Shaykh, how are you? Peace be upon you. We ask Allah for well-being. May Allah raise your status, O Shaykh; Allah knows that we love you for the sake of Allah. May Allah keep you safe in your question. My first question is that I see you have a disagreement. Do you believe in it? I previously took a girl, and she started having visions and such. So, by Allah, I want to ask if I can take her to raise her with me, or should I leave her with her mother, even though her father, may Allah have mercy on him, passed away, and he was the one who insisted that she stay. This is the first question. The Shaykh will answer in a moment.

Answer:
My brother, if the girl is under seven years old and her mother is not married, then she is more entitled to her custody. However, if she has married a stranger to the child, or if the child has reached seven years of age, then you take her to your home to raise her and supervise her until her husband takes her. Yes.
