What is the ruling of Islamic law regarding a wife's retraction of a previously agreed-upon custody arrangement, and her refusal of the alternating custody solution practiced in Swiss law? What is the ruling of Islamic law regarding her behavior of not adhering to shared parental authority and her endeavor to diminish the father's role in his daughter's life? Is the father religiously obligated to pay maintenance to the mother for the care of the daughter during the month the father spends with her, and what should he do if the mother insists on demanding it or takes it through a government association?

Muslims are not permitted to resort to man-made courts except for documentation purposes, and they must fulfill Islamic agreements. The mother must adhere to the agreement she consented to and not prevent the father from visiting his daughter and attending to her needs. As for the monthly maintenance, if it pertains to the daughter's maintenance which is obligatory upon the father, he is not required to pay it during the month the daughter resides with him, because the intent is to provide for her, and this is already accomplished. Nevertheless, if there is an agreement stipulating payment or if laws mandate it, it is advisable to pay to avoid conflict, especially in light of rulings that are unfair to the father. The mother must fear Allah and not exploit unjust courts to take what is not rightfully hers.
