Guidance for the guardians of students sent to the lands of disbelief

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says a word of guidance for the guardians of the students who are sent to the lands of disbelief, who are of adolescent age, and also advice for our sons who are sent there.

Answer:
These young ones and small children who have not grasped anything to hold onto from their religion and morals due to their youth, or due to their foolishness, are under the responsibility of their fathers, who are accountable for them. If they send them, or remain silent about sending them, they have neglected them, and they will be questioned about them on the Day of Resurrection, because they are under their guardianship, and they are accountable for them before Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
We advise the students sent abroad to fear Allah and to preserve their religion. As long as they are tested with being sent abroad and have undertaken it, they must hold fast to their religion and beware of trials and beware of the callers to falsehood, because they have become among wolves, living among wolves. So they must be cautious and limit themselves to the task for which they went. Yes.
