If parents differ on how to raise their children, must the wife obey her husband in what she believes will lead to the child's temptation, or is she permitted to act as she sees fit, taking into account Allah's saying: "Protect yourselves and your families from a Fire," and the Prophet's (PBUH) saying: "All of you are guardians," or is this address directed only to the guardian, or does this fall under "There is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator"?
Raising children is a shared responsibility between both parents. They must consult and dialogue regarding educational matters, and seek expert advice when disagreements arise. There should be an initial agreement not to contradict parenting styles in front of the children. Both spouses should be truthful and frank with each other, while taking into account the natural differences between men and women in emotion and management.
