The answer

Children are a great blessing and a trust for which parents will be questioned on the Day of Judgment. It is the father's duty to protect his children religiously, morally, and materially. A balance must be struck between the advantages and disadvantages of schools. The disadvantages can be overcome by seeking help from Allah and supplicating, by the parents' righteousness, by their active role in raising and guiding their children towards the mosque and Quranic circles, by following up on their children at school, by choosing Islamic schools or the better ones among public schools, by striving for good companionship, and by building a bridge of communication with their children. Neglecting the education of children leads to their corruption, and taking children out of schools without a suitable alternative leads them to ignorance and perdition. Therefore, a father should not prevent his children from attending regular schools; rather, he should address their shortcomings. The mother should discuss the matter with her husband with gentleness and sound arguments, and seek help from people of intellect and righteousness.
