Guidance for Parents in Protecting Their Children from Misguided Ideas

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Now, the phenomenon of atheism. The phenomenon of atheism, although it existed before, has become accessible to everyone with social media, the internet, and television channels. People appear and cast doubt on some of the established rulings of the Shari'ah, cast doubt on the oneness of lordship, and cast doubt on the Muslim's belonging to his religion. This means it has become within everyone's reach. So the matter is dangerous for the faith and religions of our sons and daughters. A word of guidance from the Honorable Shaykh.

Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory for parents, first in the homes, to remove these lowly channels and the misguided ideas they broadcast among their children and women. They should clear their homes of these evil sites. They should also follow up on their children when they leave the house: who are they accompanying? Who are they sitting with?
These rest areas contain much evil, so they must monitor their children, because they are mostly stages, not all of them, but they contain misguided dens that the wicked exploit and invade. So fathers must be alert to this and take care of their children inside and outside the home. They are under their responsibility and supervision.
Whoever tends a flock in a land of lions and sleeps, neglecting to guard it, the lion takes over its tending. You are now in the enclosures of lions; if you do not pay attention to your children and those in your hands, and do not protect them, there is no doubt that it is a difficult task, but it requires patience. And whoever is patient, Allah the Exalted helps him.
Indeed, Allah is with those who fear Him and those who are doers of good.إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوا وَّالَّذِينَ هُم مُّحْسِنُونَ
[An-Nahl 16:128]

Indeed, Allah is with the patient.إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ
[Al-Baqarah 2:153]
, so be patient, seek help from Allah, and be patient. So you must have patience and hope for reward from Allah. And the more severe the danger becomes, the more severe the caution must be. Yes.
