The children are Habiba and Juliet without a chosen guardian, and the truth is they are the children of Fadda Khatun
Al-Saffar and her custody until they reach the age of majority, and their uncle Al-Saffar is present
Fanni Elia is a just and upright man, capable of fulfilling the duty, and there is no
