Question:
This questioner says: My wife committed adultery with another man, and I divorced her. I relinquished custody of my son to my mother. The child is now four years old, and I have now forbidden her from seeing him. Am I thereby severing family ties?
Answer:
Yes, do not prevent her from seeing him. As for custody, yes, it is better for him to be with your father than with her, because you do not trust him with her, as long as she is corrupt in her chastity and has not repented. So do not leave the child with her; leave him with your father or with someone you trust, but do not prevent her from seeing him. Yes.
