عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بنِ عُمرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُما أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «كُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ فَمَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ، فَالأَمِيرُ الَّذِي عَلَى النَّاسِ رَاعٍ وَهُوَ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْهُمْ، وَالرَّجُلُ رَاعٍ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَهُوَ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْهُمْ، وَالمَرْأَةُ رَاعِيَةٌ عَلَى بَيْتِ بَعْلِهَا وَوَلَدِهِ وَهِيَ مَسْئُولَةٌ عَنْهُمْ، وَالعَبْدُ رَاعٍ عَلَى مَالِ سَيِّدِهِ وَهُوَ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْهُ، أَلاَ فَكُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ».
Kutoka kwa Abdillah Bin Omari -Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yao: Yakwamba Mtume -Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake- amesema: "Kila mmoja miongoni mwenu ni mchunga hivyo ataulizwa kuhusu raia wake, kiongozi anayewaongoza watu ni mchunga naye ndiye atakayeulizwa kuhusu wao, na mwanaume ni mchunga kwa watu wa nyumbani kwake naye ndiye wa kuulizwa kuhusu wao, na mwanamke ni mchunga katika nyumba ya mumewe na watoto wake naye ndiye atakayeulizwa kuhusu wao, na mja ni mchunga juu ya mali ya bosi wake, naye ndiye atakayeulizwa juu ya mali hiyo, tambueni kuwa kila mmoja kati yenu ni mchunga na kila mmoja ataulizwa kuhusu raia wake".
‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every one of you is a guardian and responsible for his subjects. The leader in charge of the people is a guardian and is responsible for them; the man is a guardian over his household and is responsible for them; the woman is a guardian over her husband's house and his children and is responsible for them; the slave is a guardian over his master's property and is responsible for it. Verily, each of you is a guardian, and each of you is responsible for his subjects."
Majukumu katika jamii ya kiislamu ni ya watu wote, na kila mmoja ni kulingana na nafasi yake na uwezo wake na majukumu yake.
Ukubwa wa majukumu ya mwanamke, na hii ni kwa kusimamia haki za nyumba ya mume wake na majukumu yake kwa watoto wake.
