How can the son be protected from the aggression and ill-treatment of his father who practices sorcery, and be restored to his former state, knowing the father's true nature, and is it permissible to prevent the father from seeing his son if the mother is certain that he is a sorcerer and intends evil for the son?

Firstly: The reasons for a son's bad behavior towards his mother may stem from previous marital problems, or what he sees and hears on the computer, or a spell of hatred from the father. To remedy this, the cause must be identified and addressed: by explaining the reality of divorce to the son in an appropriate manner, monitoring computer content, and performing Ruqyah (Islamic exorcism) if magic is proven.

Secondly: A sorcerer can be identified through specific signs, such as requesting the mother's name and personal belongings of the patient, muttering incomprehensible words, not attending congregational prayers, having shabby clothes, and giving amulets containing talismans. Accusations of sorcery must be verified without exaggeration, and the most important thing is to focus on the son's upbringing and care instead of being preoccupied with the ex-husband's situation.

Thirdly: Custody aims to preserve and care for the child, and the custodian's right is forfeited if they are immoral or negligent. Scholars agree that neither parent is absolutely preferred; rather, the righteous, just, and dutiful parent is given precedence. Custody continues until the age of discernment, and at the age of eleven, the son is given the choice to live with either parent, provided that his choice is not based on evading obedience or something that harms his best interest. If it is proven that the father is a sorcerer, his custody is forfeited until he repents. Both parents should cooperate in caring for the son for his benefit.
