Wa `alaykum as-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

It is best you resolve this issue through arbitration. Can you get in touch with the imam or the religious scholar in the community to see if he can help you sort it out?

Your husband has no right to take the boy away from you – let alone prevent you from seeing him unless you have proved to be an abusive mother. Otherwise, as a mother, your rights over your son are greater than that of your husband.

A man asked the Prophet (peace be upon him): Who deserves the best of my treatment? He replied, “Your mother”, when the man repeated the question he said, ‘Your mom’ three times and then only he mentioned his father.

Therefore, he is not allowed to keep your son away from you. However, it would be best in the interests of the child to have both parents; you may do well to seek arbitration and find a solution where both of you will have access to him.

If he is not willing to negotiate and he is stubborn in refusing to give you access to your son, as a last resort you may get the court to involve and seek a legal resolution.

I pray to Allah to help you find an amicable solution and reconcile your hearts.

Almighty Allah knows best.
