Protecting Children from Trials
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What should we do in this time when we have come to know of trials (fitan) everywhere, especially with our sons, where you are raising them, and everyone around you is destroying them in the home, the street, the city, the markets, and in travel?
Answer:
You must protect your children as much as you can, and do not bring into your home any of these means of temptation that convey evil to them through these screens, satellite channels, or satellite dishes. Purify your home of them, and protect your children and your women from them. If they go out and something of doubt (shubhah) befalls them, it is upon you to refute it, clarify its misguidance, and warn your children against associating with the wicked. Keep them with you in the mosques, in the gatherings of dhikr (remembrance of Allah), and in their gatherings with you.
Strive for them and keep them away from bad companions and bad associates. This requires patience and endurance, but the reward in this and the good in this is great. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
