Who is more entitled to custody, the father or the mother?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the father more entitled to custody if he is of a different religion and law, or is it the mother if she has not remarried after the divorce, but she is harmful to the child in terms of manners, religion, and upbringing?

Answer:
The jurists mentioned this, saying that one is not confirmed in the custody of one who does not protect and reform the child, whether male or female. One who does not protect, reform, and raise the child in goodness is not confirmed in his or her custody. Yes.
