Is the wife entitled to custody of the child in Norway while the father is in Algeria? Does the father have the right to refuse divorce on condition that his son remains with him in Algeria or waits to join him? And what is the advice for the wife?

We advise the wife to fear Allah and obey her husband. She should know that her residence in a land of disbelief is impermissible due to the temptation and moral decay it entails. The husband is not obliged to fulfill the condition of residing there, as it contradicts Islamic law. The husband should continue to advise her and remind her of the danger of residing there. If she insists, then there is no blame in divorcing her, and her custody of the child will be forfeited and transfer to the husband. If the husband cannot retrieve his son except by refraining from divorcing her until she relinquishes custody, then there is no blame in that.
