The inclusion of raising children in the trust
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Also, his other question, or the other part of this question, may Allah preserve you, he asks: Does the trust also include raising children and preserving them in their religion and worldly affairs?
Answer:
Yes, but that is not what is specifically intended by it. Yes, it falls under the trust in terms of obligation; the obligation of raising children is obligatory, so it falls under this aspect. Also, the other verses[Al-Mu'minun 23:8], and [An-Nisa 4:58], and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says: "Return the trust to the one who betrayed you, and do not betray the one who betrayed you." So it also includes deposits, and it includes the secrets between people, and it includes, all the more so, jobs. The employee has a trust to perform the job as required and not to waste his work. The employee does not waste his work because this is a trust that the one in authority entrusted him with. Yes.
May Allah reward you. Also, his other question, or the other part of this question, may Allah preserve you, he asks: Does the trust also include raising children and preserving them in their religion and worldly affairs?
Answer:
Yes, but that is not what is specifically intended by it. Yes, it falls under the trust in terms of obligation; the obligation of raising children is obligatory, so it falls under this aspect. Also, the other verses
And they who are to their trusts and their promises attentive
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَانَاتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَاعُونَIndeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَن تُؤَدُّوا الْأَمَانَاتِ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهَا
