The answer

The educator's influence on the child is profound, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Every child is born upon Fitra (natural inclination), and it is his parents who make him a Jew, or a Christian, or a Magian." Experience has shown the danger of disbelieving female educators to Muslim children. Hence, jurists have stipulated that the caregiver must be a trustworthy Muslim woman if the child is a Muslim.
