How did you come to know that you are irresponsible? You should also have indicated what kinds of irresponsibility you have committed. You can manage the household with piety and firm belief, rather you can also run the family in a better way while believing in Allah Almighty and with the blessing of piety. Because of fearing Allah, you can discharge well the rights and duties of the people. So, you should keep carrying out the Islamic acts along with studying Islamic books such as Behishti Zewar, Taleemuddin, Hayatus-Sahaba, and keep going to Jama?ah.
