Parents will be accountable for the sins of the children
Question:
Salams
I would like to know if there is a dua to recite if a mother doesn’t have milk to breast feed her child also if parents will be accountable for the sins of the children if they didn’t give them a good upbringing an if they gave them a good but the children commit sins.
jazak allah
Answer:
Wa Alaikum As Salaam,
You should make personal supplications to Allah for this.
Parents will be held accountable to Allah for the sins of the children, if they did not give them a good upbringing, since they have failed in their responsibility which Allah Has placed upon them.
If however, they had given their children a good upbringing, but the children committed sins, then the parents will not be accountable to Allah, since they have fulfilled their responsibility.
And Allah knows best,
