The questioner : May Allah preserve you, O Shaykh. What is the authenticity of the statement attributed to some of the Companions: “If you are not obeyed in your family or your people, then do as they do”?
The Shaykh : It is extreme foolishness. Our Lord says:[An-Nisa 4:34] And the Messenger (peace be upon him) said: Mishkat al-Masabih 3685 This is a statement that would not come from a Muslim man who has any knowledge of Islamic jurisprudence.
Yes.
The Shaykh : It is extreme foolishness. Our Lord says:
Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other
الرجال قوامون على النساء بما فضل الله بعضهم على بعضEach of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock. The imam who is over the people is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock; a man is a shepherd in charge of the inhabitants of his household and he is responsible for his flock
كلكم راعٍ وكلكم مسؤول عن رعيته فالرجل راعٍ وهو مسؤول عن رعيتهYes.
