Question:

As Salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi. Our virtuous Shaykh, may Allaah bless you. How can a Muslim deal with his ex-wife that does not allow him to talk to and/or see his children often. Sometimes this is for several weeks due to the (ex-wife's) jealousy of him marrying another wife. This has been (the case) over the past five years. Does he take her to the non-Islamic courts in order to get his children due to her not taking the advice of the Muslims?

Answer (shaykh):

Advise her and remind her with Allaah.

Questioner:

And if she doesn't fear Allaah, and continues O virtuous Shaykh?

Shaykh:

Tell Allaah about her, say, “O Lord, what do I do with her, O Lord of all that exists, give me success (as relates to her and in this affair),” and seek aid with Allaah.

Questioner:

May Allaah bless you our Shaykh and father. Do I have permission to spread your statements for the benefit of the Muslims in case the question is asked again?

Shaykh:

No problem.

Questioner:

May Allaah preserve you our virtuous Shaykh. As salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi.
