عن ابن عمرَ رضي اللّهُ عنهما عن النبيّ صَلّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم قال: «كُلُّكُمْ راعٍ، وكُلُّكُمْ مَسْؤُولٌ عنْ رعِيَّتِهِ، والأَمِيرُ رَاعٍ، والرَّجُلُ راعٍ علَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ، والمرْأَةُ راعِيةٌ على بَيْتِ زَوْجِها ووَلَدِهِ، فَكُلُّكُمْ راعٍ، وكُلُّكُمْ مَسْؤُولٌ عنْ رعِيَّتِهِ» متفقٌ عليه.
Ibn ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with them) reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him) who said, "Each of you is a shepherd, and each of you is responsible for his flock. The leader is a shepherd; the man is a shepherd over his household; and the woman is a shepherd over her husband's house and his children. Each of you is a shepherd, and each of you is responsible for his flock." [Agreed upon]
الشرح · explanation
كُلُّكُم راعٍ: أي مكلّف بعمل، حافظ له، مؤتمن عليه، مطلوب منه الاهتمام والعدل فيه. رعيته: هم من كُلِّف بالقيام عليهم كزوج وولد أو غيرهم. الأمير: ذو الأمر، فيشمل سائر الحكام؛ الحاكم الأعلى ومن دونه.
"Each of you is a shepherd": meaning each is entrusted with a task, safeguarding it, entrusted with it, and required to attend to it and be just in it. "His flock": those he is charged with overseeing, such as spouse, children, or others. "Al-amīr": the one in authority — including all rulers; the chief ruler and those below him.

لا يخلو فرد من أفراد المجتمع على اختلاف مكانتهم من المسؤولية حتى إنّ المرء مسؤول عن نفسه وعن كل من له صلة به. مسؤولية المرأة في رعاية بيت الزوج بكل ما يحتاج إليه من إشراف وتربية وأمانة وعفّة وإشاعة لروح المودّة والراحة فيه. الرجل والمرأة شريكان في الحياة الزوجية، ويجب على كل منهما أن يقوم بواجبه نحو الآخر.
No individual in society, regardless of rank, is exempt from responsibility; one is even responsible for oneself and for every person connected to him. The woman's responsibility to care for her husband's home — all that it requires of supervision, upbringing, trust, chastity, and spreading the spirit of affection and comfort. Man and woman are partners in marital life; each must fulfill his or her duty toward the other.
