Fathwa, - Children’s Islamic upbringing woman’s major role

Question
I am a woman who loves her family very much. Is my exaggerated love
for them considered a sin? If I enter Paradise, will my husband and
children be with me? I do not work for the sake of my children. Have I
committed a sin by not working?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad,
is His slave and Messenger.
Allaah The Almighty promised the people who die as believers, as well
as their families, to gather them together in Paradise. Allaah The
Almighty Says )what means(, }And those who believed and whose
descendants followed them in faith - We will join with them their
descendants, and We will not deprive them of anything of their deeds.
Every person, for what he earned, is retained.{]Quran 52: 21[ Allaah
The Almighty told us that by His Grace and Bounty He gathers them in
the perfect way by elevating those who are in lower ranks to those who
are in higher ranks, not vice versa.
Every Muslim, male or female, should be keen on achieving high levels
of faith. They should bring up their children according to the
guidance of faith and righteousness in order to attain this great
reward.
The questioner's love for her husband and children is an innate love
that does not result in any sin as long as she does not give it
priority over the love for Allaah The Almighty, His Messenger and His
religion.
A woman will have a great reward if she is mainly focused on
upbringing her children properly in an Islamic way, devoting herself
for this cause, and observing her husband's rights. These goals are
better for her than the transient earnings of this worldly life that
she could have if she were to work. May Allaah The Almighty guide
everyone to do what He loves and all that pleases Him.
Allaah Knows best.
