Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: When, and at what age, does custody of a child end if the husband separates from the wife?
Answer:
These are judicial matters that are taken to the court, but the general rule is that children remain with their mother as long as they are below the age of discernment. As for when they reach discernment, which is at seven years of age, the boy is given the choice between his parents, while the girl remains with her father until her husband takes her. Yes.
