Is the custody of the child a right for the man or for the woman after divorce?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Another questioner : He says: Is the custody of the child a right for the woman or for the man in the case of divorce, and what is the evidence for that?
The Shaykh : There is no specific ruling in this matter; the case is referred to the Shari'ah judge, who assesses the man's circumstances and the woman's circumstances and seeks the interest of the small child. If the child's interest lies with the father, it is with the father; and if his interest lies with the mother, he is with the mother.
