Ibn 'Umar reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "All of you are shepherds and each of you is responsible for his flock. A woman is the shepherd of the house of her husband and she is responsible as is the servant in regard to his master's property."

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ كُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْؤُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ الإِمَامُ رَاعٍ وَهُوَ مَسْؤُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ وَالرَّجُلُ رَاعٍ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَالْمَرْأَةُ رَاعِيَةٌ فِي بَيْتِ زَوْجِهَا وَالْخَادِمُ فِي مَالِ سَيِّدِهِ سَمِعْتُ هَؤُلاَءِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَحْسَبُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ وَالرَّجُلُ فِي مَالِ أَبِيهِ
