Muhammad Quotes
This is your father and this your mother, so take the hand of whom you like
The Prophet had ruled that before the age of 7, the mother always retained custody unless she remarried in which case custody, went to the father. A divorced couple with their 7 year old son had been brought before him for a custody decision. Based on this decision, Islamic law makes a boy choose between his 2 parents after he/she reaches the age of 7. Girls reaching 7, transfer to the custody of their father until they are married.
