Is it permissible for a divorced mother to prevent her ex-husband from seeing their daughter, especially after his previous accusations and threats?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The mother has a greater right to custody of the daughter as long as she does not remarry. She is not permitted to prevent the girl's father from visiting her. Measures can be taken to prevent him from abducting her. The father must fear Allah regarding his daughter and fulfill her rights.
