Pre-modern Muslim jurists drew a clear distinction between the
nurturing and upkeep of children, or 'custody', and caring for the
child's education, discipline, and property, known as
'guardianship'. Here, Ahmed Fekry Ibrahim analyzes how these two
concepts relate to the welfare of the child, and traces the
development of an Islamic child welfare jurisprudence akin to the
Euro-American concept of the best interests of the child, enshrined
in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). Challenging
Euro-American exceptionalism, he argues that child welfare played
an essential role in agreements designed by early modern Egyptian
judges and families, and that Egyptian child custody laws underwent
radical transformations in the modern period. Focusing on a variety
of themes, including matters of age and gender, the mother's
marital status, and the custodian's lifestyle and religious
affiliation, Ibrahim shows that there is an exaggerated gap between
the modern concept of the best interests of the child and
pre-modern Egyptian approaches to child welfare.
