Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a woman asking. She says: Honorable Shaykh, this is about my sister. She was divorced, and her father, her husband, prevented the children from seeing their divorced mother. What is the ruling in the Shari'ah, in your view, regarding the father who prevents the children from seeing their mother?
Answer:
If he has no excuse for preventing them, and there is no justification, then it is not permissible for him to prevent them from seeing their mother. This is an incitement to severing family ties. Yes.
