What is the duration of custody for a girl and a boy with the mother and the father, especially in case of divorce or separation?

Answer

In the name of Allah, know, my son, that the right of custody for both a boy and a girl is with the mother for seven years from the time of birth. After the mother’s custody period ends, the father has the right to care for his son and daughter until they reach maturity and sound judgment; he is their guardian and responsible for their affairs. Allah knows best.
