Is it permissible to work in a company that may promote Haram, such as a children's science center with events involving TV shows that contain Haram elements like magic, even if I am not directly involved?

Bismihi ta'ala

If you want to work in a children's science center, then I would not say this center promotes haram. Yes, there might be certain elements of the environment that are not shar'i compliant, but that is like anywhere else. If you wanted to work in a supermarket, they also have music, etc.

The magic that is there, from my understanding, is not really magic, but more like illusions and entertainment, so it would not be completely haram as well.

Therefore, if you are working in such a place, and you do not have any direct involvement in any explicitly haram act, nor would you become influenced towards it, then it is permissible to work there.

And Allah knows best

Magic . Father . Family

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?

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.

Wassalam.

Magic . Husband

I had asked help from a black magic person to make my husband faithful because he had cheated on me. I now regret it and want to get rid of what I have done to myself and my husband. What should I do?

If there are physical items involved (talismans, or that sort of thing) in your home, you can destroy them.

However, in general, unlike with Amazon, there are no returns in the department of the unseen - it is easier to do than to undo.

If whatever the person did had some effect, and wasn't just fakery, sometimes you can just wait it out as these things can wear down over time.

If you or he are suffering ill effects (for instance, he is not thinking clearly, it has backfired and caused conflict because he is now hyper-dependent, or you have a haunted house now), you could go to someone who is honest, trustworthy, and capable who does ruqya or who can advise you on how to do it on yourselves to help remove the ill effects.

However, that might be awkward to explain to your husband and cause more problems - most people are enraged if they find out someone attempted to do magic on them.

If it is just regret, but you don't have any reason to think there is anything actually harming either of you, it may be better to leave the situation as it is and to focus on building a positive home life and also looking after both of your material and spiritual well-being (religion, health, etc).

In general, regular recitation of Qur'an, regular salat, and playing Qur'an in the background in the home can help to calm down unwanted bad effects and bolster people against the effects of black magic. Of course, praying to Allah for assistance is good.

Sometimes in life we make decisions we regret.

Also sorry to hear about the cheating.

Infidelity and sorcery are signs that a marriage is not at its healthiest. If there are some other underlying difficulties in the marriage, unrelated to those two issues, maybe you could look into some kind of marriage therapy or counseling.
