Ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had said:
All of you are guardians and are responsible for your wards. The ruler is a guardian of his subjects and the man is a guardian of his family, the lady 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 wards.
(Agreed upon)
