How to Discipline an Undutiful Child

Question:
Abu Samir from Riyadh asks: He says: What is the ruling regarding the undutiful child? How do I discipline him?

Answer:
Do you discipline the undutiful child? Because you neglected him in his youth; you did not raise him with good upbringing. So when he grew up, he became arrogant toward you and was undutiful to you. It is according to how you raise him, teach him, and guide him. This requires caring for the newborn. He is to be commanded to pray at seven and struck for it at ten, and he is to be separated from his sister and other females at ten. So the child’s guardian must accompany him in his upbringing, raise him, guide him to good, teach him, and care for him, and not neglect him. Then, after that, he hopes for benefit from him, while he did not care for him, did not raise him, and did not guide him. Yes.
