Is it permissible for a divorced wife to take custody of the children after relinquishing her right to their father?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
A woman who has relinquished her right to custody of her children may reclaim it whenever she wishes. This is the view of the majority of scholars because it is a right that is renewed over time, and because the stronger of the two rights in custody belongs to the child, and the mother cannot relinquish the child's right.
