Raising children is a shared responsibility between the father and the mother, and their disagreement harms the family. The parents must agree on parenting methods and on addressing mistakes. The father is responsible for raising his children and providing for their material and emotional needs, and he also has an active role in monitoring their education. The wife must obey her husband by not leaving the house except with his permission, and she can seek knowledge in her home. The spouses must treat each other kindly, show understanding, and bear shared responsibility.
