Ibnul Qayyim aj-Jawzeeyah (d.751 A.H.) رحمه الله said:
‘Allaah’s advice for fathers with their children
precedes advice for children with their fathers.
So whoever was careless
and negligent of educating his son, and leaves off benefiting him and
leaving him useless, then he has been evil to him,
extremely evil.
Indeed most children being corrupt is due to
their fathers, and then being neglectful of them.
Them leaving their education of the Faraa'id (obligations) and the
Sunnan (practices of
the Sunnah) of the
religion, so they caused them to be lost when they were young. Then the fathers
did not benefit from them when they were older.
Just like some fathers held it to be shameful
that their children were disobedient, so the child says, O my father you
showed disobedience to me when I was young, so now I’m being disobedient
to you now that I am older. You caused me to be lost when I was a boy, so
I caused you to be lost in your old age.’
[From 'Tuhfat al-Mowdood bi Ahkaam
al-Mowlood' pg.387]
