Riyad as-Salihin, 283
Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "All of you are guardians and are responsible for your subjects. The ruler is a guardian of his subjects, the man is a guardian of his family, the woman is a guardian and is responsible for her husband's house and his offspring; and so all of you are guardians and are responsible for your subjects." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
كلكم راعٍ، وكلكم مسئول عن رعيته، والأمير راعٍ، والرجل راعٍ على أهل بيته؛ والمرأة راعية على بيت زوجها وولده، فكلكم راعٍ، وكلكم مسؤول عن رعيته
((متفق عليه)).
