Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah has burdened parents with the responsibility of raising their children correctly, as He, the Almighty, says: "O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones." And the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "All of you are guardians and are responsible for your subjects." Therefore, it is not permissible to enroll children in schools run by Christians, out of fear for their religion, faith, and morals.
