How can I effectively separate myself from parents who are abusive and not practicing?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You should never separate yourself from your parents, but you should be away from their sinful acts, keeping your relationship with them as good as you can. Even if your parent were non believers, you must keep treating them nicely as parents but never share with them or support their wrong faith or sinful acts.

What should I do if my in-laws mistreated my parents, causing them to want to end my engagement, but my fiance and I are unwilling to give up because of our love for each other?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You should tolerate the mistreatment if any and try to avoid any situation or act which instigates unpleasant relationship with your in laws.

Did Prophet Muhammad (s) perform the Hajj pilgrimage for his parents?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The parents of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) were from the best believers of their time and both of them did perform their Hajj. The Proohet (SAWA) encouraged Muslims to perform J=Hajj on behalf of their percents who did not perform Hajj or in general as we read in many Hadeeths. Performing recommended Hajj on behalf of the parents is highly recommended. No doubt, the Prophet (SAWA) did perform recommended Hajj on behalf of his parents.
