My family has always been a major stress on my life. The drama never ends and they treat my wife badly. They also have borrowed money from me numerous times and don't bother to pay me back. Am I obligated to continue speaking to them?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes you are obliged to always be keep good relation with them because they are your family from which Allah (SWT) Has created you. Stopping speaking with them will never help you but will increase your problems as well as make you a sinner. Those who cut ties or have bad dealings with their relatives are cursed by Allah in Quran.

Can a man marry again secretly without telling his first wife or family?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

If a man was to conduct a secret marriage with another Muslim woman without telling his wife, that nikah he did is considered valid, although it is not advisable in any way, for the many ramifications it will have. 

A spousal relationship is based on trust, transparency, commitment and loyalty.

I got to know someone is doing black magic on my father to destroy him and his family. What can I do to remove the effects from him?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

First if all you should have concrete evidence against that person before accusing him of doing black magic, then another concrete evidence that he is doing it against your father. Before have such concrete evidence against that person, you might fall in a major sin of putting allegation on that person.

You have no right to tell any one about what you think about that person before having the concrete evidence against him.

As far as the black magic which you think is done against your father and his family, the remedy is the same whether it was really done by any one or not. Even if it was not done, it is useful to protect your family by the same recitations which are: Sura Al-Falaq and Sura A-Naas to be recited after every prayer and before going to bed three times, as well as Ayatul Kursi. Sadaqa is also very useful in protection from evil.

My family want me to have a wedding but they want it to be a mixed wedding with music and dancing. What should I do?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

We must refrain from any sinful act even if family and friends insist in it. You must refuse any sinful act. No one is more important to obey more than Allah (SWT). We disobey every one but never disobey Allah (SWT).

Wassalam.
