My wife asked for my opinion on courts that don't follow Sharia law. I don't believe in man-made courts, but we live in a country without Sharia. She called me a Kafir and accused me of Shirk before leaving. What should I do in this situation?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'āla

Whatever your view may be about man-made laws and courts, it has nothing to do with shirk and kufr. It seems the issue your wife has with you is not about courts. What you should is try to mend the relationship, if you can, and avoid having these kind of arguments.

And Allah knows best
Can I inherit from my non-Muslim brother who has no wife or children, considering that non-Muslims typically do not inherit from Muslims?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'āla

If it is your legal right to do so, yes, as long as it does not entail anything haram.

And Allah knows best
If a wife is in contact with another man in an inappropriate way and then seeks divorce from her husband in order to be with that other man, while the husband refuses divorce and wishes for reconciliation, does she have the right to obtain divorce?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'āla

She can request this from her husband, and the husband should comply. He has no right to force her to stay with him. He needs to give himself self-respect and cooperate.

And Allah knows best
If a husband engages in drinking or adultery, is the wife still required to fulfill her responsibilities, such as cooking and intimacy, or can she refuse him and choose to live separately until he repents?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Wife must fulfill her duties towards her husband even if the husband is a bad person committing sinful acts. Husband suns are on him but it can never exempt his wife from her duties as a wife. Her suffering because of her husband's bad deeds will add in her reward as patient person as lady Asian tolerated her very bad husband Firaon.

Wife can not refuse her husband nor live separately. Yes she should never help him in any wrong act.
'Wassalam.
