Question:
The questioner, Umm Abdullah, says: What is the ruling on being lax in raising children on the part of the parents? The father of these children says, “Leave them alone; let them learn from life. Do not interfere in their affairs. You are trying to make things complicated for them.”
Answer:
This man is ignorant and is not a proper educator. It is obligatory for the father and mother to cooperate in raising their children in goodness, in worship, and in modesty. But this man who forbids his wife from raising her children in noble morals calls this making things complicated. He is ignorant. The mother should not obey him; rather, she should raise her children. Yes.
