The questioner : The questioner says, orThe questioner : Honorable Shaykh, it often happens in boys' schools that the mother calls the school and discusses her son with the teacher or the school principal. My question, O honorableThe Shaykh : Is it permissible for her to do so, or should this role, I mean following up on the sons, be the father's responsibility? And what is your guidance, O honorable Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes, there is no doubt that the father is the responsible party, as we have established before. He is responsible for his daughters and sons. It is not befitting for a woman to discuss matters with the school principal or the school teachers. Who is this to be left to? Answer, everyone? It is to be left to the father. Men deal with men, and women with women. However, if she wants to discuss matters with the female school principal and the female teachers, then yes, that is the mother's responsibility.
