What should I do if my parents ask me to do things that contradict Allah's commands, possibly leading to sin? Should I always obey them in both religious and non-religious matters, even when I know what is right?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You have to always keep the respect of your parents but not obey any order which is against the orders of Allah (SWT). The Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) said: No obedience to any creature in the disobedience of The Creator. If you are sure that the order given to you by your parents leads to sinful act, then you must refrain from committing sins.

Is never repeating a sin again considered as repentance without asking Allah to forgive you?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No. We must ask and beg to Allah to forgive our sins. Without being humble to seek and beg to Allah for forgiveness, our sins will not be forgiven. Not asking Allah for forgiveness, means that the sinner is still arrogant even if he decides not committing the sin again, but as he has already committed the sin, he must seek and beg to Allah (SWT) for forgiveness.

How can I protect myself from falling into the sin of masturbation through watching inappropriate videos?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If you remember the fact that every sin can result in hellfire, you will then avoid committing such sins. Whenever your evil desire tells you to watch such videos or to masturbate, go to your kitchen and make your hands near a fire, and see how much you can tolerate that,then ask yourself: Can you tolerate the hellfire? No one can tolerate the hellfire but some people try to forget it before committing sinful acts.

Remembering the definite results of our deeds should make us aware and away from sinful acts

Are there any narrations that indicate if sins can be accumulated after death, such as posting a picture of a sister without a scarf or if a haram business continues after the owner's death?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes. Every deed which remains will cause more reward if the deed is good like building a Masjid or water will etc, or bad like unlawful business or any sinful acts. The reward for good deeds continue, while sins of bad deeds continue as well. The Hadeeth says: He who initiates a good deed which remains, will get its reward and the reward of every one who follows it, and he who initiates bad deed will face the sin of it and the sin of everyone who will follow and act on it.
