dc.description.abstractMuslim scholars have extensively discussed rules governing the eligibility and hierarchy of Al Hadanah (Child Custody) but the social and cultural backgrounds of Nigerians make the implementation of the law difficult. It is to this background that this paper examined two tied cases of Al hadanah in a Nigerian shariah court of Appeal with the objective of identifying the practicability of shariah in the country. Historical research method was used for data collection and analysis and findings of the work revealed that some Nigerian Muslims are ignorant of the provision of shariah on the issue.

This paper suggests that proper education on child custody should be emphasized with emphasis on the procedure for divorceen_US
