What is the ruling on a father traveling with his daughter, whose custody was awarded to her mother after Khulʿ, in order to settle with her among his family, provided that her mother is not deprived of her, knowing that the court rejected his request for custody?

It is permissible for a father to travel with his daughter to his country if the journey and the country are safe, and he does not intend to harm the mother. There is a disagreement among scholars regarding the mother's right to custody in such a case. Issues presented to courts are not resolved by fatwas; rather, they are referred to the court, and the judge's ruling resolves the dispute, such that the mufti's opinion is superseded by the judge's decree.
