The answer

Among the rights of the child in Islam is the right to education. Guardians must teach children what they will need after puberty, such as what makes their faith and worship sound, and the prohibition of fornication and theft. They enter into accountability upon reaching puberty. The evidence for this obligation is the Almighty’s saying: "O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire," and the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Each of you is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects." A child is a trust; if accustomed to good, he will grow up with it, and if accustomed to evil, he will be wretched and perish. The father must protect his child from the fire of the Hereafter by disciplining him and teaching him good manners, protecting him from bad company, and not accustoming him to luxury. He should also be taught worldly matters such as swimming and archery. The guardian must discipline children with Islamic manners that instill noble character in them.
