Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I have a daughter from a divorced woman, and I was providing for her. When she reached seven years of age, I asked for her, but her mother refused, so I cut off her financial maintenance. Is my action correct?
Answer:
And what is the daughter's fault that you cut off her financial maintenance? What is her fault? Why is her maintenance dropped? You have the right to take her when she reaches seven years of age; when she reaches seven, you have the right to take her so that you can protect her and look after her, and not leave her with her mother. Yes, and her maintenance is not dropped by your leaving her with her mother. Yes.
