Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
(peace and blessings be upon him). The questioner asks: Is a guardian held accountable for the false oath of his young son, and likewise for his letting his garments hang below the ankles?

Answer:
The adult parent raises the young child, training him to abandon lying and to wear lawful clothing. He raises him and does not leave him to do whatever he wants. What is the meaning of raising a child? He is the one responsible for it. He is the one responsible. He commands him to pray and strikes him for it when he reaches the age of ten. He raises him in good morals, in obedience, and in abandoning what is forbidden. Yes.
