Is the father legally entitled to see his daughter in her divorced mother's home, or should he await the judicially appointed visitation time?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A mother is not permitted to prevent her daughter from seeing her father, as that constitutes severance of ties and disobedience. A father is permitted to see his daughter at any time and in any place he wishes. However, if the place is the mother's home, then the mother's permission is necessary for entry; otherwise, the visit must take place elsewhere. The mother's consent is not a prerequisite for this meeting.
