Mother not allowing the father to visit the children
Question
If the children are being deprived of visiting the father by the mother, what should be done?
Answer
It is wrong. The mother should be explained that the father has a right, unless the father himself is corrupt.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
