Discussion
Under the Shia school, what is the cronical order of persons entitled to the 'Hizanat' of a minor child ?
a. Father b. Mother
c. Grandfather d. Grandmother
Answer: A
Under the Shia school the order of persons entitled to the custody (hizanat) of a minor child is mother, father, grandfather and grandmother, which is b, a, c, d in the key.
The mother has the first claim. The other sequences place the father or the grandparents before the mother or reverse the grandfather and grandmother, which is not the order in the key.
The father and the paternal grandfather, in the order given, come after the mother because Shia law regards the mother as the natural guardian of a young child for the early years, subject to the child's welfare.
