Is a divorced woman entitled to a reward for the custody of her children?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is a divorced woman who has taken custody of her children entitled to a reward for the custody?

Answer:
There is no doubt that she has a reward, because she has performed the obligation incumbent upon her, and whoever performs an obligation is rewarded. The jurists or the scholars of usul al-fiqh (the principles of jurisprudence) say that an obligatory act is one for which its doer is rewarded and its abandoner is punished. So, if she fulfills the obligation incumbent upon her, she has a reward for this. Yes.
