Leaving one's children with the maid for work
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: My wife is a teacher. When she goes to school,
The Shaykh:
his wife.
The questioner:
is a teacher. When she goes to school, she leaves the children with the maid. Is this dutifulness toward them?
The Shaykh:
This is the danger we mentioned. She abandons her children and goes to work. Her work, in the sight of Allah, which Allah has charged her with, is raising the children, not going out to a job or work, or going to markets or parks, and leaving her children. This is not permissible for her. She is accountable before Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He); she is a guardian responsible for those in her care. So she should fear Allah, raise her children, and protect them. This is more obligatory for her than the job. Yes.
