Is the wife religiously obligated to homeschool the children, and who is religiously responsible for making decisions and bearing their consequences in the family?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Raising and educating children is a shared responsibility between spouses, and both must cooperate in this regard. Religiously, the wife is not obligated to teach the children, but she should obey her husband in this matter as much as she is able. The husband is responsible for making family decisions due to his headship, and the wife is responsible for her home and children. It is advised that spouses cooperate, understand each other, show mercy, and that each considers the other's situation.
