The eighth question of Fatwa No. ( 4172 )
Q8: What is the ruling on a man taking his son or daughter and enrolling them in a French or English school, which contradicts the teachings of the religion, while he claims to be a Muslim and that he is choosing a good future for them?
A8: It is obligatory for the father to raise his children, male and female, with an Islamic upbringing, for they are a trust in his hand, and he is accountable for them on the Day of Resurrection. It is not permissible for him to enroll them in the schools of disbelievers, out of fear of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and the corruption of creed and morals. The future is in the hand of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[At-Talaq 65:4] And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
