QUESTION: My brother married recently. Four months into pregnancy, his wife told him the child was not his but another man’s. Shocked, he agreed to an abortion, and our family felt divorce was necessary. Later, she claimed the child was his and that she lied due to panic. My brother now wants to keep her.

QUESTION: My father is a Sufi who does spiritual healing (_dam_) and gives amulets (_ta’weez_) using words that ask for help from spiritual elders. He also does numerology for homes, businesses, and past/future events. I believe these practices are incorrect. He doesn’t charge, but disciples voluntarily give him money. Is it _halal_ to eat food bought with that money?
