Question:
Honorable Shaykh, some fathers are negligent in raising their children and constantly repeat the phrase, “When they grow up, Allah will set them right.” They repeat these phrases to the mother and the wife. Is this phrase correct?
Answer:
No, that is a mistake. Children are raised to obey and to worship Allah, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:5. So he raises his children from the age of discernment, from the age of seven, teaching them and raising them to obey, keeping them away from sins and bad character, and protecting them from bad company. Yes.

No, that is a mistake. Children are raised to obey and to worship Allah, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Command your children to pray at seven, beat them for it at ten, and separate them in their beds.
مروا أولادكم بالصلاة لسبع واضربوهم عليها لعشر وفرقوا بينهم في المضاجع
