QUESTION: Sometimes my dad says bad things about people. I’m afraid it might come under backbiting. I know if I try to tell him that he shouldn’t do this, he might get angry. When my mom told him to stop one time, he got angry and stopped talking to her for sometime. So can we just listen to him until he stops without telling him to stop?

QUESTION: I’m a guy. My sis got engaged but didn’t do nikah yet. Now she’s going out with her engaged husband for wedding-related shopping. Must I go with them since I’m her mahram or will I be sinful for going with them because those 2 are non mahram & by going will I be assisting them with their sin of interaction with non mahram? Or will I be sinful if I don’t go with them?
